Legs swelling in heat

[amytug 996]

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 =)
