HTN, c/p, numbness: Conditions that may or may not be related. For c/p may be pleurodynia viral infection of lung membrane or may be pericarditis ( inflammation of the heart membrane) from virus or even pneumonia..Thigh numbness can be Meralgia paresthetica especially if overweight. Alternatively putting all together may be from Lyme disease if applicable , or very rarely MS ( multiple sclerosis). f/u/ w/MD
