Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Whole Body

I have occasional swelling all over my body but mostly in my lower legs, also in my early 30 s (i m 47female) I had developed pinpoint red spots that have now faded in to brown stains on my lower legs. I suffer from constipation, hypertension, arthritis, migraines, and have battled kidney stones in the past. I control the constipation, hypertension, arthritis, and migraines thru meds now, any suggestions for the swelling or why it is happening? KP

Hi thanks for contacting HCM.

Here your swelling could be by right side heart failure like condition as you have hypertension. ECG done for it...

Second you have chronic constipation also.Rule out myxedema like condition by thyroid profile..

If you have liver problem as chronic condition then also by hypo albuminemia leg swelling can occur.

Kidney problem also can lead leg swelling like nephritic or nephrotic syndrome or kidney failure..

So for above two condition do your LFT and RFT profiles....

As far as drug concerned causative treatment done with diuretic use

Take care.
