What Causes Swelling In Feet,Legs,Arms And Head?

I have random swelling in various different places, mostly in my feet and legs although it has been noticed in my arm ,head and body sometimes I would describe them as welts but usually about the size of an egg. Also I have a low grade fever this is mostly by the end of the day. I have been to the doctor and he took 4 blood samples, most came back in the normal range although he said one indicated some inflammation although he could not determine the source. I have body aches and fatigue. I am a 61 year old male farmer, my prostate exam was good and I had a colonoscopy about 1 year ago. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 205. I take 40mg of crestor and 5 mg of simistyatan, my blood pressure is usually less than 145/85 and my pulse is about 63

HI THANKS FOR POSTING YOUR QUERY ON HEALTH CARE MAGIC.

GENERALIZED SWELLING OF THE BODY WITH FEVER MOST LIKELY SUGGESTS AN INFECTIOUS RENAL PATHOLOGY OR A CARDIAC CONGESTION.

A SCREENING TWO DIMENSIONAL ECHO AND COMPLETE URINE EXAMINATION CAN EFFICIENTLY DIAGNOSE BOTH CONDITIONS.

CONSIDER DIET LOW IN SODIUM.CONTINUE YOUR MEDICATIONS.

CONSULT AN EXPERT NEPHROLOGIST FOR FURTHER QUERIES.

THANK YOU,
TAKE CARE
