Swollen Feet, Ankles, and Legs
When you notice that you have swelling in your, legs, feet, or ankles, it might be because the heart is not pumping enough blood. What happens when the heart is not pumping effectively is that blood backs up into veins; thus, the swelling. This heart condition can also make the kidneys inefficient in taking out the excess sodium and water from the body, and this can also cause swelling. Swelling can occur for a number of reasons; kidney failure, liver failure, injuries and number of other things. Only a doctor can help you get to the root of the cause, so if you start to notice swelling in these parts, see a doctor immediately. [3]
