I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right section b/c I'm not sure what I have exactly. I believe it is cardiac related and I'm hoping someone can offer some insight.

The calf area of my legs feels heavy/weak a lot of the day. This feeling is intensified when I lift something (my child especially). Most of the time, upon lifting, my legs get very heavy and weak and almost give out. The feeling travels from my calf area all the way up my legs and lasts under a minute. I have to stand still or sit down until the feeling passes. My doctor sometime ago that it was my blood pressure (normally ~90/60) but I'm not so sure that is the reason. I am going to go back but in the meantime I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this or can offer some insight as to what this could be.

Get checked out for a blocked abdominal aorta. Your blood supply is restricted from getting through to muscles on lower limbs it seems.
