What Causes Breathing Difficulty And Swollen Feet While Suffering From Diabetes?

I am a diabetic and have been for years but for the past couple of months I have had trouble breathing and my legs are like concrete. They are swollen so are my feet and I have no ankle bones anymore that you can see. My feet are swollen also and it is hard to walk after a few hours. I do work on my feet for 8 hours a day.

Hello,

If this is the swelling of the lower limb, then it could be due to a long-standing position that causes the return of blood difficulty it is the most common reason seen if the swelling subsides on its own in the morning.

And if this is not the reason, then it could be the renal disease, cardiopulmonary disease, with diabetes such symptom of lower limb swelling need to be taken seriously, I would suggest to get done the test for renal disease and for cardiopulmonary disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
