My feet legs and ankles have swelled up like balloons i have not been getting much sleep the past few nights the reason why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swollen ankles: Most likely you are eating more salt than you are getting rid of in pee. Are you getting up at night to pee and is this the reason you are not sleeping well. Or are you waking up SOB? Tell and show your Dr. A number of other serious issues could be cause. Taking CCBs for high BP?
