Hello, I am a 49 yo female, slightly overweight that has severe swelling in my feet and ankles. Can you tell me what is causing this? i do have a family history of heart problems, I do not consume a large quantity of salt, feels like numbness and pain in my bottom part of my toes and swelling where the ankle bone is. I do drink water , quite a bit no known allergies and not on any medications no known history of daibetes, have all classic symptoms of fibromyalgia though,..please help, im very concerned!
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you might be having hypertension and sodium retention. I would suggest you to get your complete heart check up and also sodium level. If there is high blood sugar or low thyroid then it can also cause such swelling. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
