HI. I have had heart by pass surgery and I take lasix medication. Recently I rode 1000 mile round trip in week and today, my left foot only, has swelled from the ankle down. I usually don t have any problems along this line. I have elevated my foot and tried ice pack and the swelling goes away. I can t sit all day with my foot propped up with ice. Any advice will be appreciated.
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. As you have got swelling of only one foot. This can be due to local cause. You are advised to keep it elevated and exercise actively by active toe movement of toes. As you are already having cardiac disease, so it will be better to see cardiologist for it. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
