My left foot starts out fine in the morning, but by evening it is swollen throughout the upper bridge of the foot and the ankle. It's worse in hot weather too. I've been to several doctors and get everything from it's your age to just take water pills. None of these things is an answer or a solution. I also have shortness of breath sometimes. I'm 49 years old, female, and slightly overweight at 145 lbs. 5 ft. 4 in. Is there a particular type of doctor I should see about this? I've been to three different GPs who hadn't a clue, although my last doctor said I should get an abdominal scan to rule out anything there. I'm not looking for a diagnosis, but more along the lines of suggestions of type of doctor to go see who might have more answers and a solution.
