What Causes Weight Gain, Burning Feeling In Tongue, Swollen Legs And Feet?
A friend of mine has been having swelling in the legs and feet, a lot of weight gain, burning of tongue, pain in legs and a rash on her belly. she has been to dr and they said she is just over weight and that s why she has all these symptoms. but the weight is one of the symptoms. do you have any idea what could cause this.
Weight gain,burning feeling in tongue,swollen legs and feet may be due to multiple problems like altered thyroid profile,vitamin deficiency etc. Your friend may need clinical correlation and few investigations. Your friend may need routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver and renal function test,lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen,thyroid profile,vitamin B12 estimation etc. Proper treatment depend upon findings. Patient may need limited salt intake and avoid prolong standing.
Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
