A member asked:
Can feet swelling or feet pain be just from obesity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The extra fat can impend circulation of blood in the veins as well as lymph vessels by crimping them off at the groin. Obesity is often the cause of cardiac problems and high blood pressure which are 2 conditions that can cause swelling of the dependent parts of the body.
