Legs swelling in heat



Recommended Posts

I just started noticing this yesterday. My bra is feeling tight too. Today I had my dd take a pic of me and I noticed how full my ankles are of Fluid. I don't know of this is from the heat or what, but he last two days have been pretty hot compared to the weather we had been having and I've been sweatin a lot more. My pee is concentrated too, dispite the fact that I've drank more fluids today than any other day as a sleever, as of yet.

I'm also on blood thinners for 3 clots in my intestines, but I've never encountered this in the 6 weeks I've been on them. Course it hasn't been this hot either. Last time I saw the cardiologist he asked me if I had any swelling and I hadn't at that time, but now I'm alarmed an wondering if I should be.

Anyone else experience this!

I see that Amy! I have no idea.. But you should definitely call in the morning. It's in the 90s this week here and I'm not having swelling...

If you have a history of blood clots and you have swelling in your legs you need to contact your dr ASAP. This could mean you have a blockage due to clotting in the lower extremities. OR.. It could be nothing other then the heat.. But your dr needs to be contacted

I would definitely mention it to your doctor. It might be nothing but if you have a history of clots I think it's worth getting checked out.

Do you have pain in your calf? Is it warm to the touch? Those ( plus swelling, redness, etc) are all signs of a blood clot in your leg and should be evaluated by a health care professional. Better safe than sorry.

Very cute picture by the way =)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
