Peripheral artery disease

Question

Asked for Female, 19 Years

Basically, I’ve been having pains in my legs. It’s usually just in my left leg around the calf area, but now it’s started in my right leg. It starts to hurt whenever I run, or walk for for a while, or even if I just walk up the stairs. It eases once I’ve sat down, but it still hurts a little. I’ve heard that this could be peripheral artery disease, but is there anything else what could cause this? Im 19 and my diet isn’t exactly 10/10, but I’m just getting worried. I have a doctors appointment
