Suggest Treatment For Recurring Edema In Legs

I have pitting edema that is only located on a small area on both chins in the same place on both legs. It is more pronounced when I am standing for long periods. In the morning and other times it totally goes away, but returns later. Any ideas what s happening?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurring edema in legs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like acute kidney failure , cardiomyopathy , chronic kidney disease , cirrhosis , deep vein thrombosis , heart failure or lymphedema . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order kidney function test along with ECG and take history . Doctor may refer you to nephrologist for kidney problem or cardiologist for heart problem . For now keep your legs elevated while lying down , lower your salt consumption and do not seat for longer time with your legs bend down .
Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
