Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Fluid Retention In Feet And Excessive Weight?
Wife- carrying excess weight and holding fluids in her feet. Leg sometimes hide the ankles but capture on the top of both of her feet; first on the left and then the right. Pronounced during Summer and heat. She is on her feet 50% of her work day. It stacks up right at the back of the inset at the back of her toes. Thanks for your consideration.
It can be due to simply standling or there can be multiple reasons for this issue like cardiac(heart),renal(kidney) or hepatic(liver).I would suggest to use stockings, monitor BP and get baseline investigations done like CBC , LFTs,RFTs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Zeeshan Akram
