Have a query?

Could the pain in the side of my right leg that starts after walking about 1 kilometer and goes away only after I sit for 5 minutes be a sign of poor blood circulation in my legs (PAD), considering I have high blood pressure and take Telma 40?

The symptoms you describe?pain brought on by walking and relieved by rest?can indeed be a sign of poor circulation, known as Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), especially since you manage high blood pressure with Telma 40 (telmisartan). However, at 35, other causes like nerve compression or muscle strain are also very possible. I gently recommend scheduling an appointment with your doctor. They can easily check the pulses in your legs or perform a simple, painless test called an ankle-brachial index to give you clear answers.
