What Causes Swollen Thighs And Legs With A History Of Fluid In The Heart?

I normally weight 184.6 and was at that weight two days ago. Now I weight 204.8and my legs toe to thigh are swollen. I have had issues with fluid on my heart and in the past my injection rate was 25. I am visiting with my sister in another state other than my hometown. Should I go to the ER?

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

As you had the fluid issues in the past and now the leg is swollen from thigh to toe I will advice to get the swelling reduce first as I may lead to cardiac overload which is not a good sign Also, this swelling of the lower limb as a whole should not be related to the past condition but due to the block of the venous insufficiency for which a Doppler might be used. Post which with simple diuretic and stocking for lower limbs should help you and avoid complications.
