Question:

I know I've asked this Q before but I'm just not getting a good answer! can you please see if you know ?

My foot has been swelling up on me for the last 2 weeks and I getting kinda concerned about it. yes I do plan on going to the doctor if it continues but I really want an answer now of what it could be. I'm thinking its a little more of a serious problem.

first: I'm overweight
second: diabetes runs in my family
third: my moms feet used to swell bad but we always thought it was because of her drinking.
forth: its not swoll when I get up in the mornings
fifth: it is fluid cause when I push on it, then the impressions stay there.
sixth: high blood pressure really runs in the family

see so I'm getting a little worried. do you know why it would swell. its only my left foot and ankle. and I have not injured it or got a bite. its something internal. Has anyone had this happen to them? thanks for listening and please try and help.

Answers:

the swelling you describe is called pitting edema, and it may indicate a heart problem. Don't wait to see if it continues, get your self to a doctor and get it checked out.
