Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi Jen, I am waaaay behind in my emails and have only just read these relating to person with the swollen legs and ankles..... This past week I have been getting very swollen feet and ankles myself, but the weather has been very hot, and I do have MS so I just put it down to that.......but then last night, I had one leg tucked under the other while sitting on the couch, my left heel was sorta resting on the top of my right foot - and when I stood up, the veins in my right foot were VERY prominent, which they are not usually like that, I looked a little closer, thought the light was playing tricks with me - but I had a big dent in the top of my foot, sorta looked like half of the top of my foot had collapsed..... Within about 5-10 mins it was back to normal, but I've never seen anything like that before and it was a little scary to say the least! I have made an appointment to see my GP but was so relieved to read your email and have since read up about it on the internet a bit and that is definitely what I have. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Maree Melbourne, Australia > See a HEART DR soon > bugs Second this. What you describe sounds like pitting edema, which needs to be addressed by a Dr ASAP Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hi Glo, Thank you for taking the time to type this info out, thankfully I don't have any other symptom like you describe.... I don't want to keep going on about something unrelated to oils and herbs too much, (in case I get growled at....lol) - but I will let you know what the Dr thinks after I see him on Saturday. Maree Melbourne Basically I went through my symptoms of heart failure. The symptoms are : Shortness of breath not related to exercise or exertion Increase in swelling of the lower limbs (legs or ankles) Swelling or pain in the abdomen Trouble sleeping (waking up short of breath, using more pillows) Frequent dry, hacking cough Increased fatigue Confusion, impaired thinking Increased heart rate (from coreg site) --- avast!
