Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I have read and understood your concern.
Pedal edema is a condition that should not be taken lightly as it may be a sign a serious underlying health problem.Possible causes may include heart, kidney or liver problems.I will suggest you see the Doctor for examination and tests.Tests that may help include: ECG, liver function tests, kidney function tests and others depending on the Doctor's diagnostic orientation.In the meantime, you may try the following:
-Elevate legs while lying
-Take a diuretic like furosemide
-Reduce salt intake
-Limit fluid intake
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns.
Best regards
