Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Im 35, 5ft. 3in., 299lbs. My feet and ankles have been swollen for about a month. Now the swelling is running up my legs to my knees. I have been put on lasix which has not worked at all. Thursday i started becoming very dizzy and it has not gone away. I feel very off balance and light headed. Any answers?
Such type of swelling can be there due to: -High blood pressure -Hypothyroidism -Liver disorders -Heart failure -Electrolyte imbalance I shall advise you to consult to your doctor and get your self investigated. Till then do not strain yourself. Keep your lower limb elevated on a chair or pillow.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
