Lately I ve noticed I have been retaining water I m 53 going through pre-metapause. Thus morning I woke up to my right ankle very very swollen slowly as the day went on I noticed it was my entire leg. It seems as if I lay down and raise it the swelling goes down a little. Should I go to the ER?
Hi my dear, I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns. Retaining water (edema) at your age 53 years old while going through pre-menopause is to get further evaluated by physician. Immediate tests are highly recommended to understand why you are having edema
