Does anyone have a good idea about what it is when an adult starts having aching and slight burning, heaviness and maybe cramping in their legs after exercise?

No redness or issues with blood clotting.

I have always exercised but recently began both high blood pressure tablets and cholesterol tablets - both genetic diseases in my heritage. This has helped me feel so much better.

I realised for a few years I’ve been suffering the aching legs after exercise and feeling so heavy.

I thought maybe it’s PAD.

The medications help but when I forgot I got the pain back.

Has anyone experienced this and what would you do/did you do. What tests etc.

I didn’t realise how heavy my legs felt daily!

Now I’m concerned.
