What Can Cause Swelling In The Legs Along With Dizziness And Fatigue?

Hello, I constantly have swollen legs i keep getting dizzy My heart flutters and i feel very fatigue all the time. I have had an EKG the doctor said i m having and extra heartbeat. I do have high blood pressure. Other symptoms are joint pain and stiffness (especially in arms) and for some reason my shoulders and top of back are burning like my skin is on fire. Can you tell me what could possibly be wrong with me?

Hi,

1. Irregular heartbeat are causing a poor circulation in your body . This explains why you feel always fatigue

2. Taking medicines for high blood pressure are causing swelling in your legs, especially if you are taking Amlodipine or Nifedipine.

3. Other possible causes to leg swelling could be related to your heart not pumping blood adequately, or kidney/liver issues. A good cardiac check up is recommended together with kidney/liver function test.

4. Blood electrolytes to measure to look for related deficiency together with Doppler ultrasound of the extremities to rule out problems with local blood circulation.

So, discuss this with your caring doctor in order to start running the diagnostic tests as advised above.

Hope I have answered your query.
