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.
I have severe swelling of my right foot &leg. Now the swelling is in my right leg I am on 100mg of to prowl & 40 mg of fork ivied per day. My dentist was concerned about the swelling in my leg and told me to contact my cardiologist . My cardiologist said I had a fib & chef . I watch my salt intake carefully but it does"'nt seem to help. Thanks for any information.
It seems you are suffering from atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure (AFib and CHF). You should get medications for your heart failure and diuretics for reducing edema. As only one of your legs is affected you should also be evaluated for deep vein thrombosis by sonography.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammad Mostafa Ansari Ramandi,
Cardiologist
