Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been suffering with pitting edema in my legs and sometimes in my whole body it s been going on for about five years and no dr can figure out what s wrong, it s not my heart or my kidneys. I m basically healthy except for the edema and sudden weight gain when it all started. Antibiotics make it go away but when I m off the antibiotic for a little while it all comes back.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it is better to get done the endocrine test just to rule out anasarca, if this is to turns unremarkable then it may not the illness of any kind it could be just obesity and nothing could be else hope this information helps.
