What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Feet?
My wife is 54 and basically in good health with slightly higher blood pressure at times. In the last couple days she has been experiencing swollen legs and feet with a very warm uncomfortable feeling. She had blood test done and does have an elevated AST number. Any ideas of what could be causing this?

Hello,
There are many medical conditions that can cause swollen feet.
I recommend checking kidney function.
I also recommend an ultrasound of the leg to exclude blood clots.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
