Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Although your: description is somewhat atypical it is potentially consistent with DVT. Since this is a possibility and could be life threatening it would be important to have an ultrasound to confirm or deny the diagnosis. See your health care provider for a thorough evaluation.
