Not necessarily: Heaviness is not a common description for someone with poor circulation to the legs. More usually, one complains of pain with walking that leaves with rest, less hair on the toes, change in skin color loss of pulses. Heaviness could be vascular but could be from many causes. A good history and exam should help determine the cause.

Possibly so: It is possible that heaviness or discomfort in the legs is a sign of poor circulation. This would especially be so if the symptoms occured with exertion and improved with rest. Other causes would include muscle weakness or deconditioning due to lack of exercise and degenerative nerve disease. If the problem is persistant or worsening a visit to your doctor is in order.
