Cardiac Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,
Legs edema may be related to a variety of causes. I think that a cardiologist is a good choice to start the consultations. We have to establish the diagnosis to know if the legs are going to swell all the time or not, and how to help her.
I find this answer helpful
