losing all feeling in my right leg.

[Poorlizzie]

I have moderately severe heart failure and permanent AF. Last night I was sitting for about 40 minutes on an armchair legs apart feet on the floor, when I stood up I had no feeling at all in my right leg so much so when I went to move it I went over on my ankle. I sat on the floor for 20 minutes then gingerly got up leg ok. How serious is this ? first time it has happened no warning no cold feeling just not working. No chest pains ,no dizziness. Came up with PAD on the internet which scared me. Waiting for the magic 30 mi utes to phone my GP . Any thoughts?
