A member asked:
I have gained 10lbs since the 9th and most this past week. my legs are swollen and some in my left side of my chest. i have some pain. is it serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be serious: If you have no history of swelling (edema) and especially if you have new onset chest pain you need to go to the ER right now or call 911. These symptoms could be due to heart disease. There are other causes, but it is crucial for you to be certain that that is not the reason, and risk serious consequences by delaying treatment.
