[|Human|] My friend is 28 yrs old, heavy drinker for over 10 years, vodka, heavy smoker, over a pack a day....appears to have kidney attacks, swollen ankle and leg, one side more than the other, very itchy bottom of feet, always thirsty, high salt diet, and coughs and vomits too often. He does little or no exercise but is on feet for several hours due to his job.
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe itchiness on the feet and swollen ankle. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like high blood pressure, progesterone, fluid retention, hormone replacement therapy or low consumption of thiamine. I would suggest you to keep your legs elevated while lying down, take anti histamine like Ben Chat Doctor.  If condition doesn't get well then consult general practitioner for proper examination. Doctor may order certain test like blood test, kidney and liver function test to rule out organ failure. Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for heart problem. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
