Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.
First we have to identify the cause for your Bilateral pitting
pedal edema ( edema in both of your legs).
There are many causes for Bilateral pitting pedal edema.
As you have anemia, if it is a severe or long standing anemia may be the cause for your Pedal edema. If you are my patient, i will first identify the cause for anemia and begin treatment for that.
If you pedal edema is responding, then i will prescribe either oral or IV or IM iron injections.
If not responding, i will examine you and do further investigations.
Some other common causes are Congestive
heart failure, cirrhosis of liver,
renal failure (
nephrotic syndrome),
Hypothyroidism.
About your current medication, none of the drugs can cause such profound bilateral pedal edema.
Thus you have to do following investigations.
Complete blood count,
Total protein, Albumin: globulin ratio,
other liver function tests,
Blood urea and serum creatinine
Urinalysis,
Abdominal ultrasound,
Ecg and
Echocardiography,
Tsh, T4, T3.
Stool for ova and cysts.
Based on the finding from investigation, i will start treatment for the cause.
Hope this Helps. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr.Manjeth.
