Extreme Edema In Stomach, Legs And Feet, Belly Pain. Normal BP, High Sugar. Any Ideas?
Hi, I am a 42 year old woman and am having extreme edema in my stomache, legs and feet. What could be causing this problem? I've had my heart checked and blood sugar is a little high and blood pressure is fine. I am currently on a water pill but it doesnt really seem to be helping. Now i am experiancing pain in my belly and when i lay on my stomache i could swear i feel pressure on the right side. Could the belly pain and edema be related? Why am i holding so much water on my body? Please help! Lelia
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The generalized edema that you are having could be due to kidney related cause or a cardiac cause. You need detailed investigations after a thorough physical examination to find out the cause.
