What can i do to soothe my swollen feet caused by heart problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A couple of things: I will make an assumption and presume that this is edema (a symptom of heart failure, or use of certain types of blood pressure medications). If this is the case, elevating your feet and/or using compression stockings may produce a substantial improvement in your symptoms. There may also be some benefit to the use of certain types of diuretics.

I work remotely and often sit in a chair for hours. Sometimes my feet/ankles will be swollen at the end of the day. Can this mean heart failure or just that I need to be sure to exercise periodically instead of sitting? I am otherwise healthy?
