Heavy legs and tingling in right arm is it a heart attack?

Not typically: Without any more information its difficult to opine. Your symptoms are not typical of a heart attack. Old age, diabetes and female gender sometimes present with atypical presentation. I will advice to seek medical attention asap if this is a new symptom presentation.

It varies: Symptoms of heart attack are classically crushing chest pain that radiates into the jaw and left arm. Not everyone has these symptoms and people can have other symptoms as well including heavy legs and tingling in either arm. If you have any risk factors for heart disease and any question if you are having a heart attack, you should immediately go to your nearest emergency department.
