Swelling feet: Agree Diuretics are not indicated. Most with edema are eating too much salt (sodium). Discuss with team. I recommend using the app Cronometer to track your sodium intake. Goal is to eat less that 1,500 mg per day. If this is the cause it will be better in 2 weeks usually. Show you results from Cronometer with your team.
