[|Human|] Hi, I am 29 years old and have pitting edema ( most of the time in my lower legs but sometimes through out body) I can gain 15-17lbs from one week to the next. This occuse about 2 a week if not more. I seem to always have trace amounts in lower legs. I am overweight 200lbs but it is hard to know my true weight since it changes constantly. I also can t seem to lose any weight either. I am taking several meds. including powerful pain pills for hurniated discs in my lower back, nuerton, soma and progesteron for 10 (since I have stoped haveing my period for over a year now, and still havent).I do have the non-hormonal IUD for about a year now aslo. I am also on a heart medication due to high BP and Tacardia, which averages aroung 150/98 pluse100and up. My doctors are stumpted! So I thought I would give this a try...any thoughts or suggestions would be welcomed. It would give my doctors and me some path to go on. Please help. Thanks so much Robin
[|AI|]  Hello, I will suggest you to do a thyroid profile for your obesity and mild edema. Tell me name of Chat Doctor. Long-standing hypertension may also lead to edema feet (Echocardiography needed). An uncontrolled blood pressure also causes swelling in feet. A thyroid profile will also help you to have a look in the cause of obesity and edema feet.  powerful painkillers may damage kidney in long run causing edema feet. Progesterone has side effect of fluid retention and weight gain. Recommended for you to control BP. Reduce weight. And need a workup for unexplained high pulse rate. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
