Edema: The swelling of your feet and legs could be likely due to other causes rather than fibromyalgia. Fluid retention in your lower legs can be due to poor venous circulation, lymphatic drainage issues or simply because your muscles are not moving enough to achieve a good circulation. Try getting up and walking around every hour at work. It is important to get another heart assessment with your doctor
