I have had the symptoms for many years and never associated it with migraine. How serious is it? Should I see my Primary Care or my Headache Specialist?

Claudication can, in some cases, be associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD). How serious it is varies from person to person. Call your primary physician. He or she may want to run some tests or refer you to a cardiologist. There is a test to check the blood vessels in the legs to be sure they're clear and in good shape.
Keep me posted?
Welcome again,
Teri
