A member asked:
Over the last six months i have been tachycardic at rest and now have bilateral pitting oedema in my lower legs - what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Points to heart dysf: The 2 signs - tachycardia & edema - point to heart failure, but there are 3 causes of edema, & low blood volume can lead to resting tachycardia independent of cause (so 2 signs unrelated). The 3 causes are (1) cardiac, (2) liver cirrhosis, & (3) nephropathy - kidney leaking protein / albumin. Ask your primary doctor about your symptoms & history. Or use HealthTap Prime to help get to a diagnosis.
