Brief Answer: No. Detailed Answer: Hi, I have read your query. Falling several times and feeling heavy in legs is not a vascular disease but a neurological disease. You need a MRI scan of brain to rule out the exact cause of repeated falling. After your scan you can send me report so that I can guide you the treatment. You have not mentioned any history of tremors or fever, so I am assuming it to be normal. Get your fasting blood sugar, morning blood pressure, x-ray lumbosacral spine in AP and Lateral, E.S.R, C.R.P done and send me the report. I hope it helps. You are welcome to ask further health related queries. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer 5 points for me, so that I get a good feedback.
