General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Leg swelling can be related to many medical conditions such as cardiac issues. I suggest to do an electrocardiogram and a blood pressure measurement for further evaluation. I also recommend to see a cardiologist.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
