Avatar n tn Physical Signs of Heart Disease Swelling of Your Feet and Lower Legs Retention of fluid in the feet and legs is known as peripheral edema. Edema may appear as "sock marks" at the end of the day. Mild peripheral edema is common. Your doctor may check for this sign by pressing a finger against your ankle or shin bone to see if a depression is left behind. This is called "pitting edema.
Avatar f tn Many elderly women show up in the emergency room with peripheral edema or swollen feet due to congestive heart failure (which is a chronic condition). When I was pregnant, I had ONE foot swell terribly. That was a vein issue in my case. And I had pregnancy hypertension and had pitting edema overall. (good times . . . loved it so much I did it twice, ha ha). Another common reason for this kind of edema is kidney issues. And liver issues. The list goes on.
Avatar n tn Flycaster has given you some great guidelines. I don't have heart "disease" but I do have arrhythmias. Oh well. I think the average person will have some swelling of their feet and ankles if they've been up and around all day. Surely you've heard people talk about their shoes feel tight because their feet are swollen by the end of the day. And our hands may puff up a bit too on a hot day. Very normal.
Avatar m tn Alcoholism can also cause a condition called cardiomyopathy, which is damage to your heart, causing it to stretch and weaken over time. A weak heart struggles to pump blood throughout the body, and fluids can leak into your body tissues. A common symptom of this problem is swelling hands and feet. With relation to diabetes, he can do blood work to find out. https://www.webmd.
Avatar f tn Any of you lady's have swollen feet/ankles? I work about 40 hours a week and my feet are killing me. What do you guys do to help your aching feet?
Avatar f tn However, my feet have been constantly swollen for the past 2-2.5 months. Its both of my feet, ankles, and lower legs. I have not injured them and have no other symptoms to report. I have tried compression stockings and they don't seem to help. I have tried walking every day and still the swelling persisted. They are swollen from the moment i wake up in the morning, it does not go away with eleveation. Any ideas? Suggestions?
615166 tn?1282303497 My feet, ankles and lower legs tend to swell most days, especially if I'm up on my feet all day (at work for example). But the doctor isn't concerned. I puff up all day and piddle all night. Perhaps it's just my old blood vessels aren't working as well as they used to. Don't have varicose veins so who knows? I follow a low sodium diet just because it's the smart thing to do. Also learned more about it when my Dad was diagnosed with heart failure. Wanted to support him.
2039375 tn?1384319176 Three things come to mind when a patient has swelling -- heart disease, kidney disease, and liver disease. An echocardiogram (or ultrasound of the heart) would be a good test to start with to assess if the heart might be at fault. The liver doesn't usually cause swelling unless there is cirrhosis, which results from long-standing liver disease (such a hepatitis, alcohol, etc). An ultrasound of the liver can usually detect changes suggestive of cirrhosis.
Avatar f tn They really do a good job at keeping the swelling down. Helps with blood flow and can decrease getting varicose veins. Also prop your feet above your heart.
Avatar f tn I'm 31 weeks and my ankles and feet are so swollen. They throb all the time and by 3 or 4 in the afternoon they look like they are are going to pop! I drink water and try to rest during the day. I never had this problem with my other two babies. Is there something I can do to help with the swelling?
Avatar f tn Any tips or advice for swollen feet except for drinking lots of water and putting feet up?
Avatar f tn Yes my feet and hands have been swollen and yesterday my feet went down and my hands were swelling. The doctor told me to wear tight socks and elevate my feet and have ice packs or cool water over them.
Avatar f tn Did you ever figure out what the issue is? I also have swollen ankles, feet, and lower legs too. My doctor is sending me to neurology. It's so bad sometimes I can't walk well and I pull muscles/tendons. It can also be very painful. I don't have the red splotches or numb spots that you describe. Like you, I watch my sodium, don't sit or stand for too long, and have had all the blood tests I should.
Avatar f tn I am 27 weeks and my feet are so swollen. Does anyone know anything that helps with it? Thanks!
Avatar n tn I am at work at the moment and all of a sudden my foot started stinging. After about 30 seconds the stinging was quite dull but i looked down at my foot and it was huge!!! i elevated it but it just got bigger. I'm on 50mg Imuran and 25mg Prednisolone daily. Wondering if either of these could be contributing but swollen feet and lower legs is supposed to be a rare side effect of Imuran but I've had swollen feet and legs since I started taking it...
9633429 tn?1404953195 t work. Thats happened with me anyways. when your sitting or laying down prop your feet above your heart! If you wont it will get to the point you cant walk!!!!
