My feet started swelling for no reason. could you tell me what causes it?!


Question:

My feet started swelling for no reason. could you tell me what causes it?


Answers:

It actually could be edema and or water retention.If it is edema, this is mainly caused by poor circulation. The legs do seem to get it mostly, because this is where circulation of your blood has to work the hardest to get back up to the heart. Standing for long periods can make it more prone to occur.

Water retention could also be another cause, and for the same reasons as above it affects the feet and legs also.

Go get checked out by your Dr. and let him know exactly what the problem is.
One way to help reduce the swelling, is whenever possible, lay down and prop your feet up on pillows, so that they are above your heart.
