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 Weakness And Swelling In Feet And Ankles?
I m 69 years and have had swelling in my feet and ankles lately. I work in retail so I m on my feet all day. I have hypertension and cholestrol issues. I m tired all the time and sleep alot when I m off of work and don t have alot of any energy. What is going on with me?
It could congestive heart disease. I suggest you see your doctor for an ECG, blood tests, chest X-ray, and possibly a referral to a cardiologist for an echo.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
