Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and saw your uploaded photos and would explain that this situation could be related to different causes:
a- fluid retention related to heart failure, liver disease or kidney disease
b- chronic vein insufficiency of the lower limbs or varicose veins.
For this reason, I would recommend performing some tests:
- a chest X ray study
- a cardiac ultrasound
- some blood lab tests (complete blood count, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests)
- a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels to investigate for possible varicose veins (which are related to prolonged standing up position).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
