As long as: You are able to walk ok, and in the absence of a chronic disease, you are likely ok. Get seen if it worsens but at age 23 you are at low probability for a disease of the cardiovascular system. Good luck.

Heavy Feet: Heavy legs can be cause by an artery in the legs that are blocked by plaque and this is where your troubles come in. Others have this condition due to weak veins that cause the blood to not circulate correctly and this can lead to varicose veins which can signal a heart problem. One out of five with the legs feel heavy symptom will have a heart attack within the next 5 years.
