Hello,

Hypothyroidism may lead to pedal edema. Other possibilities like deep vein thrombosis or hypoproteinemia etc. Please get serum albumin, complete blood picture, ECG and chest X-ray tests. Review with reports and consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
