Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I am a 49 yo female, slightly overweight that has severe swelling in my feet and ankles. Can you tell me what is causing this? i do have a family history of heart problems, I do not consume a large quantity of salt, feels like numbness and pain in my bottom part of my toes and swelling where the ankle bone is. I do drink water , quite a bit no known allergies and not on any medications no known history of daibetes, have all classic symptoms of fibromyalgia though,..please help, im very concerned!
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you might be having hypertension and sodium retention.I would suggest you to get your complete heart check up and also sodium level. If there is high blood sugar or low thyroid then it can also cause such swelling. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
