I was then referred to a cardiologist for some type of heart failure or malfunction and his response was my heart is working perfectly everything is fine and referred me to an ENT specialist after hearing my symptoms that also included pitting edema on and off over the past a plus or minus years and now excessive constant pitting edema in the lower legs and feet accompanied by numbness and tingling also in my upper left hand but no pitting edema just now numbness and tingling in the upper left hand.
