Is it possible to get pedal edema from left side heart failure?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: CHF is often associated with pedal edema. Discuss the issue with your primary care and your cardiologist as well. Do not elevate your legs at this time as this will increase the pre- load on your heart, if you do have chf.

Swelling of feet: Yes. The back pressure will translate into pedal edema.
