What Causes Sudden Claustrophobia And Swelling In The Legs?
My good friend is suffering with swollen legs that are red and now have fluid blisters but no pain. He is not sleeping well and sits up half the night and says he feels clostrophobic until he sits up. He doesnt want to see a doctor but i fear he should. I told him to elevate his legs above his heart and get some good rest if possible. He is 71 and stubborn. What to do????

Hi
This sounds like congestive heart failure and whether he wants to or not he needs to see a doctor right away for evaluation and treatment
