Suggest Treatment For Swollen Feet And Ankles With Rapid Weight Gain
My husband has gained 10 lbs in less than 2 weeks, feet and ankles swollen and xtremely painful turning almost blue/purple at times. I try to watch his salt intake and have got him to drink at least 20oz of water a day along with other fluids. He takes blood pressure meds(lisinapril ) and Ibuprophen 800 mg. and 3 yrs ago had conjestive heart problems. What can he do to ease the pain and swelling of his feet and ankles?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I could say that try to keep the leg in elevated position, till the proper diagnosis made for the swelling in my opinion renal disease need to be ruled out here, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
