Posted on Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Question: Hi, I'm a fairly active 32 male. I went to Europe this summer and during the last week of my stay until now I've been having edema in feet occasionally. Along with this I have a tingling(not pins and needles) sensation In The bottom of my feet. It seems as if I shift the weight from one foot to the other, blood rushes to the one I take the weight of of. Also another new symptom is red blotchy hands... I've been diagnosed with fatty liver/enlarged spleen but all blood work ok. Also have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I have no insurance so I'm need of answers Please help!!

Brief Answer: You should take multivitamins for tingling in foot Detailed Answer: Hello XXXX Thanks for writing to XXXXXXX Pedal edema can be due to many reasons.It may be due to posture,anemia,hypertension,drugs,altered thyroid profile etc. You should take care of your posture.Don't stand for prolong periods and don't hang your legs during sitting position.Take restricted amount of salt in your diet. Tingling sensation in feet can be due to vitamin deficiency.You can take multivitamins once daily for three months. It is good that your blood reports are o.k. Fatty liver is reversible stage and it can be reversed by changing life style and diet alteration.You should increase your physical activity and don't take saturated & trans fat,red meat,high fat dairy products. Enlarged spleen can be due to past infection. You should avoid smoking and alcohol if you take these things. Get well soon. Hope i have answered your query. Further queries are most welcome.

Thank you for your answer. My main 2 concerns were congestive heart failure or liver cirroshis for the edema. But it's only showed up 3 mos ago and it sporadic, doesn't happen all the time???

Brief Answer: It is not due to heart failure or cirrhosis. Detailed Answer: Hello XXXX I would not be concerned about cirrhosis or heart failure. Occasional pedal edema is not due to cirrhosis or congestive heart failure. Moreover ultrasound of abdomen only revealed fatty liver and not cirrhosis. Cirrhosis has different pictures during USG and radiologist will not miss it. Beside this,cirrhosis has many other complications. Congestive heart failure causes many problems to the patients like respiratory distress, huge pedal swelling which is consistent etc. I don't think this seems to be your case. So,you don't worry. Get well soon. Hope I have answered your query. Further queries are most welcome. Take Care Dr.Indu XXXXXXX
