Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve, probably the sciatic nerve, due to a possible inter-vertebral disk herniation. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and a lumbar spine X-ray study.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
