A member asked:
I recently took a trip to vegas from colorado. and just got back.... having issues with edema, and tight feeling chest. lots of drinks and no sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Edema: Prolonged sitting on a plane, fluid retention from high sodium containing drinks contribute to formation of edema. Your chest tightness may be due to stress and tension from sleep deprivation, but if there are associated shortness of breath and sharp chest pains and/or calf pain and tenderness,get checked for blood clots in the legs and pulmonary embolism. When in doubt, it's better to get checked
