Hi,
Thank you for posting in your query
Swelling over foot and hand can be due to many reasons. Few of which are,
Positional
Weight gain
Hormonal imbalance, Thyroid disorders
Heart disease
Renal disease
Medications like steroids
Diabetes
Hypertension
Anemia
Allergy or local causes
I would request you to get yourself evaluated by a Physician.
It would be good if you get a few tests done like repeat Thyroid function, Renal function, Complete blood count,Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, LH and FSH, Fasting and post lunch sugar levels.
Get your Blood pressure checked as well.
In the mean time a few suggestions:
1. Reduce salt intake in food
2. Exercise
3. Keep the legs raised with a couple of pillows under the ankle when you sleep
Getting yourself evaluated would help us in finding the right diagnosis for the right treatment
Hope I have answered your query
Please reach out to me if you have any further questions
Regards,
Dr Gowri
