What Causes Tightness In The Leg Despite Having Gastritis?

I was recently diagnosed with gastritis. When I get up from sitting or lying down I feel like my left leg is somewhat weaker feeling than the right leg and maybe the a little tightness in the left leg. I m 58 years old 135 pounds 5 feet 8 inches tall and have been in good health until I started getting awful stomach pressure that was diagnosed as gastritis about two weeks ago.
