Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service!

Regarding your concern, I would recommend besides checking closely your blood pressure values, discussing with your attending doctor about an actual review of your renal, liver, and thyroid function.

It is necessary to investigate the exact cause of limb swelling (whether due to heart failure, renal dysfunction, limb veins insufficiency, or local inflammation). Inflammatory tests (PCR, ESR, etc.) are recommended as well.

You should discuss this with your attending physician on the above-mentioned issues.

Hope to have been helpful to you!

Let me know in case of any further questions.

Kind regards,

Dr. Ilir Sharka
