Hello,
As per your description of symptoms and age, probability is of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). And chest pain can be due to formation of embolus from thrombosis of leg vein.
My suggestion is to consult surgeon, who will advise you to do Doppler imaging of leg veins that will be confirmatory for DVT. My advice is to consult surgeon as early as possible, as your condition seek early treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
