I am experience swollen feet, hands and knee pit for almost a month now. Earlier I thought that happened due to heat (i had experienced swollen feet earlier because of this reason, which usually in for short duration). Could anyone please tell me a probable reason, as I am trying to avoid unnecessary visit to hospital due to the current situation around. Thanks.

Try to reduce your weight first. Check your blood pressure. And other blood reports.

Leg swelling generally occurs because of an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the lower extremity. Common causes of leg swelling include idiopathic edema (swelling of unknown cause), overweight, is older, salt retention, cellulitis, congestive heart failure, venous insufficiency, pregnancy, and medication side effects. Some tips that may help reduce swelling: 1.Put your legs on pillows to raise them above your heart while lying down. 2.Exercise your legs. This helps pump fluid from your legs back to your heart. 3.Follow a low-salt diet, which may reduce fluid buildup and swelling. 4.Wear support stockings (sold at most drugstores and medical supply stores). 5.When traveling, take breaks often to stand up and move around. 6.Avoid wearing tight clothing or garters around your thighs. 7.Lose weight if you need to.
