Could Tightness And Swelling In Feet, Legs And Stomach Indicate Congestive Heart Failure?
I m a 45 year old female with 3 heart stents. I have diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, degenerative disk disease, hypothyroidism, and non-alcoholic stea to hepatitis. For the past two days my feet, legs, ankles, and stomach have been swelling. Now my hands and arms even feel tight. I know this a sign of congestive heart failure but could it be anything else?
