Peripheral Artery Disease?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello everyone, 

Lately I've been feeling severe tightness in my left calf after walking especially if I walk fast. My recent blood test also showed that I have high LDL cholesterol level. And one more thing that concerned me is my grandfather died from stroke. One thing that seems like its not PAD is I am only 21 years old. So is it possible for a 21 years old young woman to have PAD?
