A member asked:

Should i be worried.two days ago i started swelling badly. from my ankles to my stomach is badly swollen. feels like im carrying 10kgs extra suddenly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling: True swelling due to excess fluid accumulation is very serious. Heart,liver and kidney pathology are common causes. Underactive thyroid or intraabdominal growths are other causes. A physician will examine you and order appropriate tests and/or referral to the proper specialists.
