Can pitting edema be not serious?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sure.: Swollen ankles after use of calcium channel blockers is anticipated and inconsequential. Another example of benign pitting edema: swollen feet after standing in excessively hot weather.

Yes: Putting edema is due to significant fluid retention and it is one of the common sign of congestive heart failure.
