Swollen feet..any ideas?!


Question:

Swollen feet..any ideas?

about a week ago, I woke in the morning to horribly swollen feet. They were really big and they were very tender. I spent the day with my feet elevated and the pains went away, but my feet seem to still be larger than normal and the skin is peeling from the bottoms of them. I plan to see my doctor next week and do a blood workup. Anyone have an idea of what may be causing this?

i have checked my blood pressure many times over the last week and everything is normal


Answers:

Too much salt in your diet can cause your body to retain extra fluid, but it goes deeper than that. Your body is having difficulty in getting rid of the fluid. This could mean a heart problem or a kidney problem. Either your heart is having a hard time pumping your blood or your kidneys can't get rid of the fluid. You probably suffer from Hypertension too.
