Question : what can cause pain with swelling in feet and legs ?Im sorry it also causes shortness of breath with exertion and walking.
Brief Answer:
seems like cardiac issue .
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I will like to tell you that getting shortness of breath , swelling in feet and legs along with pain seems a sign of heart issues like congestive cardiac failure . What needs to be seen is that the swelling that you are getting is pitting or not . Just place your finger on the swelling for 30 seconds and put pressure , if it leaves a mark the swelling is pitting in nature and will be most likely because of heart issues only . If it doesn't pit other causes need to be ruled out .
Take care.
