Hi Anon
Thank you for your question!
On a less urgent note, there could be a variety of reasons for your symptoms. Some include your sciatic nerve - you can read about that here: http://www.empowher.com/media/reference/sciatica#causes
Another is that you may have some kind of infection in your legs that needs to be seen. A warm sensation is sometimes a sign of infection.
Are you on bed rest or sitting a lot? Do you fly often or have you just taken a long flight?
But most importantly - regarding your untreated high blood pressure - this can absolutely cause blood clots that could damage your brain or heart very quickly, and this is something that needs to be seen to immediately. This is not something that you want to put off and your symptoms are pointing in the direction of possible clots. I think it's a good idea to call your doctor or his/her emergency number today, or present yourself to the E.R.
Please talk to someone ASAP and get seen to. Please update us when you can,
