Possible: Circulation problem at 77 yeas old ant if you have high blood pressure it could be due to medication too. See vascular surgeon or pcp they will send you for some tests which will tell what cause is.

Reason for swelling: Several things cause swelling to the feet, ankles , legs , and thighs. First of all, it is usually not a foot and ankle problem causing it. When swelling is in the entire lower extremity, it is usually due to a systemic problem-or one that is caused by something in you general health. Swelling is caused by congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, kidney dx., venous insufficiecy. Call dr.

Edema: Swelling to the feet and ankles is common as we get older. It can be a vascular insufficiency, kidney or blood pressure issue. If you have been given a diuretic by your doctor - take it on schedule! You can try to wear support hose and elevate your fee when out of bed. If this does not relieve your issue see your doctor. Do not ignore this.
