anuther dumb question for the Doc's (freebee)

Yeah I know, sleazy to be chasing free medical advice but so what:

For the past couple of weeks I've had a strange sensation on the outside of my thigh, right below where the pocket would be. It feels as if I have a cell phone in my pocket and it's going off on vibrate. Not as much fun as you might think. I've actually reached down to check if my phone is in that pocket a couple of times.
It's intermittent but consistent kinda like a cell phone ringing.
It feels as if a little bit of pressure is building up in a balloon and then vibrating slightly as the pressure releases. it is much slower than a heartbeat, slightly faster than normal breathing rate.

It is more pronounced when standing, occasionally while sitting, never when lying down. I have a history of slightly elevated blood pressure but never anything severe, maybe 145 over 90 at times. Other than that no health problems to speak of.

I've already decided to get it checked even though I think it's going to be a waste of time and money, the question is does this sound like something I should I hurry up and get checked or just get around to it when convenient in the next couple of weeks?
