Hi, my feet, ankles and lower legs are incredibly swollen, I think they re retaining water. Also, I have been getting extremely dizzy and light headed along with blurry vision. I have been incredibly tired and I feel like I m so dehydrated but I know I m not. I drink 5 - 44 oz waters a day. What is wrong with me? My legs are in so much pain!

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
Leg swelling has many reasons. It actually is the retention of fluids in dependant parts of the body. Kidney, heart, liver, blood pressure, lipids in body are some of the areas of concern regarding lower extremity swellings.

Please consult your physician for complete evaluation and treatment. He will rule out cardiac issues, kidney issues, liver problems, blood vessels issues and blood pressure problems. Some tests are needed for that. It can be cured with drugs like Hydrochlorthiazide, or Furosemide water pills and by treating underlying cause.
