A member asked:

What could be causing painful cramping inside thigh of the left leg, followed by rapid heart rate, light headednes, and sometimes passing out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Those : Those symptoms are very concerning and you need to seek out an immediate medical evaluation. You could have a blood clot in your leg, or another serious medical condition. Leg pain, rapid heart rate (tachycardia), with light-headedness/fainting are very concerning symptoms and you need to go to the emergency department.
