Hi,
It seems you are having intermittent claudication due to PAD (peripheral arterial disease). You should undergo ankle:brachial index, or ABI. The ratio of the ankle and brachial artery pressures (termed the ankle:brachial index, or ABI) is 1.00–1.40 in normal individuals. ABI values of 0.91–0.99 are considered “borderline,” and those.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
