My ankles and the tops of my feet are swollen on and off...just like when I was pregnant over 16 years ago...no way I am now...seems to be better after laying down and/or sleeping for several hours overnight and even during the day...as it is, I do not sleep much or even get good sleep when I do...not enough down time...too much on my mind...not sure what to do?
Hello I have read your query and feel that you have dependent edema in your feet which could be due to-1-Long standing hours2-increased salt intake3-Excessive walking or exercise4-using high heels or tight footwear. I suggest you-1-Decrease your salt intake2-rest your legs avoid standing for long hours at a stretch.3-elevate your legs if you are sitting on a chair by using a footrest .4-try reducing your weight if you are overweight5-Use flat comfortable shoes for walking. Hope that solves your concern.
