What Causes Swelling In Feet And Ankles?
I am a 44 year old female. Weight 320. Height 5' 5". I've had swelling in my feet, ankles and lower legs that is getting progressively worse. I've been elevating, taking over the counter diurex and now monitoring my salt intake. What is going on with my body?

Hi,
Some of the common causes for the swelling are Hypertension, Diabetes, Thyroid disease, Menopause varicose veins. To confirm the diagnosis you need to do blood tests and get your B.P checked It would be good if you meed a general physician. Till then wearing compression stockings will help to some extent.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.
