These are clear signs that
1. Why Foot Swelling Matters
Most people overlook their feet, but signs like “swelling, color changes, warmth, or skin impressions”
can reveal deeper issues. Persistent edema—fluid buildup in the lower limbs—is one of the clearest warnings.
2. Common and Everyday Causes
Gravity, long standing, heat, minor injuries, or tight shoes often trigger temporary swelling.
Poor circulation from sedentary habits, smoking, or vascular problems can also make fluid “accumulate.”
3. Medical Conditions & Other Triggers
Heart weakness may cause swelling in both feet; kidney problems lead to fluid retention;
liver damage lets fluid “leak from blood vessels.”
Certain medications and pregnancy can also contribute.
Look for red-flag symptoms like “shortness of breath, fatigue, or jaundice.”
4. When to Act
Mild cases may improve with elevating the feet, movement, supportive shoes, and lower salt intake.
But swelling that’s persistent, painful, or paired with redness, fever, or breathing issues needs prompt medical evaluation.
