1. Swollen Feet—A Sign of Heart Failure, Kidney Disease, or Liver Cirrhosis
Persistent swelling of the feet, also called edema, isn't just a minor inconvenience. It can be a symptom of:
Heart Failure—When the heart is no longer able to pump blood effectively, fluid accumulates in the legs and feet. If the swelling is accompanied by shortness of breath or fatigue, seek immediate medical attention.
Kidney failure – Impaired kidney function leads to fluid retention, resulting in noticeable swelling in the lower body.
