Poor circulation: Do you have low blood pressure? If you move your arms in a vertical circle ( like pretend jump roping and your arms are the rope) for 15 to 30 seconds every 10 minutes does this prevent the spotchiness and swelling when standing or walking? You may need to reassess your life style to help keep autonomic nervous system balanced.
