What Causes Swelling In The Feet?

I have been having swollen feet and have had many tests for blockage in legs, but no Dr can find what s wrong. I was checked for gout, high blood pressure, diabetes, and yet no one can find what s wrong. I have a sister who says I should have my heart checked. I take no prescriptions because I am overall health. I am 209 lbs and 64 yrs old. I eat salads with no salt in my diet and drink a lot water. What do you think????

what is your average blood pressure. See salt restrictions are like to take low salt content, but that doesn't mean you totally stop salt intake! Feet are like small chambers and gravity affects more to accumulate fluid if any retention is there in leg. As your history doesn't sugget any major pathology, get your thyroid profile done. hypothyroidism can also lead to accumulate fluid mostly over major body areas.
