Common Questions and Answers about Swollen ankles shortness of breath
swollen
I have had the edema on and off, and my Endo used to check my ankles when I had an office visit, so with Hashi's it is common, although I have not had shortness of breath.
So I have been sitting at an Xmas gathering for my family today for about 3 hours got home was relaxing in my recliner. Walked up stairs to talk on my phone and looked down and my ankles are huge! Its mostly the back and the inside of my ankle. I'm worried bcuz I looked up preclampsia sorry if that's spelt wrong. And another side effect is shortness of breath and I have had that for the last 4 weeks. I'm only 21 weeks.
Few days back he started having the problem of swollen ankle, sleeplessness and shortness of breath. then he was hospitalized for couple of days where doctors gave him Dubotamine along with lasix, after 2 days his wait was reduced by 6 kg and the breath and ankles were ok, but now again his ankles are swollen.
Kindly need you advise on what to do?
Other than this heart problem, he has no other problem.
Sometimes lying down with legs elevated can reduce the swollen ankles. I was admitted to ICU just based on shortness of breath, it is very telling for congested heart failure. I felt well and was shocked 6 years ago to hear I had had a heart attack and CHF. Currently, my heart has returned to normal size and the heart is pumping normally.
The bypass may be failing and/or there are other occlusions and that may take a CT angiogram to determine.
m worried about my 75 year old grandmother, she has had some common symptoms of right sided congestive heart failure. She has shortness of breath when talking, noticably swollen legs and ankles, weakness, neck vains exposed etc. She has extremely low blood pressure but also very high cholesterol.
Can anyone confirm that this is in fact congestive heart failure, I'm very worried about her but she doesn't want to see a doctor!
Over time, the organs soon fail, resulting to shortness of breath, fatigue and weakness, swelling of the legs, ankles and feet, persistent cough or wheezing with white or pink-blood tinged phlegm, swollen abdomen (ascites) and weight gain. If he experiences chest pain, fatigue and weakness, rapid or irregular heartbeat and shortness of breath, bring your husband to a nearby hospital for prompt evaluation and management. A few minutes delay of management may put your husband’s life at risk.
Hasn't your baby dropped yet? Usually the shortness of breath is normal when the baby is still not low. Doesn't mean anything is wrong but still I would at least call my doctor. In regards to the swelling make sure your blood pressure is okay and try elevating your feet.
If you have taken stress tests and have not had to stop the tests early due to shortness of breath, the odds are *great* that the shortness of breath you report is NOT related to heart disease.
In fact, most of the symptoms you report, such as lower back pain, transient high blood pressure--in the absence of other known, genuine heart symptoms--have nothing to do with heart trouble.
You do not have to worry about 'misleading' your doc.
t had a thing wrong with him in his whole life up until now. He went into hospital last week with shortness of breath and swollen ankles and tiredness. They said he had phneumonia and a crackle on his lung which he is being treated for; and also they have said he has heart failure. They've given him a fair few kinds of medication to take and have sent him home with his discharge notes.
If left untreated it can cause fluids in lungs,shortness of breath,liver complications and serious cardiac conditions like cardiac arrhthymias,pulmonary edema,atrial fibrillation and heart failure etc which may be life threatening.
I would suggest an immediate medical intervention and investigations like ECG,echocardiography and blood tests.Either coax her or use force,your mother needs to be evaluated by a cardiologist as soon as possible.
I hope that helps.
My husband's 1st pacemaker was nearing its 10 yr. warranty time in March 2022. We had testing done in November 2021 so we could be prepared in advance for a replacement when the time came in 2022. The technician did some tests and insisted his pacemaker had maybe 12 - 18 months left before it needed replacement. We protested the findings so they scheduled a 6 month appt for June 2022.
Anyway, just wondering how many of you experienced/are experiencing shortness of breath and leaking breasts at this point? Ive just recently experienced both of these things and im loving the experience of being pregnant, i know ive had it easy compared to alot of people and i thank god every day for this blessing..
The side effects are adding up. Nausea, low pulse rate, nausea, fatique, chest pain and shortness of breathe (had that before med), muscle cramps.
Does anyone know if side efffects will go away soon? Will they improve. Did anyone have good experience on this or bad? Please help us understand this all.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

So for the past week and a half I've been having shortness of breath & can't find a comfortable position to sleep in at night. I have also been having lower abdomen and back cramps that will sometimes last most of the day. Kinda been feeling under pressure especially when I urinate. What could this mean???
Now at 25, over the past week,
1) My awareness of my heartbeat, which has always been there (but less so) since age 18 has increased again
2) I had a morning of off swollen ankles (well, swollen tops of feet where feet connect to legs) along with itchy bumps on legs, all which went away after a few hours.
3) I have been feeling really under the weather.
4) I have had little appetite, which is odd for me
5) I have developed vision that is occasionally blurry, especially at the end of the day.
If there is anything you can think of that is differant or had changed please add that as well. I hope I can help you or give you some ideas. I had been having alot of shortness of breath as well and did alot of research plus I love to do that as well. Part me thinks I should have been a doctor! I love to research. I think its great for patients to be proactive about their health. I always research my car problems as well. Its best to be knowledgable. I think you get treated better.
