Suggest Remedy For Swollen Feet And Ankles
I am a 71 year old woman with diabetes 2 and a heart condition. I have also had a thyroidectomy. I do not walk at all, and I have not been drinking water lately. My feet and ankles are swollen. I have already decided to start walking ( I am going to walk 1/2 mile tomorrow) and drinking water. Will that help or should I go to my doctor?

So you are diabetic and have heart problems and now you developed swelling of legs..
Well..It has many causes but in your cases diabetes and heart problem may be the contributing factors.
Do some basic tests like CBC,ECG,LFTs,ultrasound pelvis and abdomen,Doppler ultrasound of the calves.
You better see your doctor ..
