Swollen feet: There are many causes for swollen feet such venous/lymphatic insufficiency, excessive salt intake, hypothyroidism, medication side effects, and excessive standing/sitting. Your doctor should evaluate you to get at the root cause so that proper treatment is given. Also note that not all "water pills" are equally effective at reducing edema ( swelling).
