Swelling: When my patients come in with this i te;l them it is from upstairs - meaning it could be heart , lung , circulatory, blood pressure or other things. In short, as dr beresh said , see your family doctor.

Edema: Swelling to the feet and ankles is common as we get older. It can be a vascular insufficiency, kidney or blood pressure issue. If you have been given a diuretic by your doctor - take it on schedule! You can try to wear support hose and elevate your fee when out of bed. If this does not relieve your issue see your doctor. Do not ignore this.
