Edema: This can be related to your weight, but also to blood pressure and heart problems, you need to have a good check up by your doctor with a work up to rule out such conditions.

Obvious: Is loose weight but also could be something more serious. Check with gp and possible referral. Elevation above heart and compression socks will help too.
