My feet and legs swell up 3 times their size when i sit for long periods of time , what cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leg edema: Causes could be venous insufficiency (leaking leg veins), possible prior blood clots called deep vein thrombosis, heart, liver, or kidney problems. You need to see a local doctor, keep your legs elevated, avoid salt intake, and don't sit for long periods of time.
