 [ Symptoms ] my legs and feet have been swollen for a week or so and i am very fatigued can you tell me why i recently had blood work done and brought up this problem to my dr but it seems to be getting worse as the days go on especially the swelling of my lower legs ankles and feet [ Disease ] i am sorry you are going through this it sounds uncomfortable and unsettling keep pursuing this situation with your physician sometimes swelling of the lower limbs is caused by simple things like too much salt consumption or having a job that requires you to be on your feet all day like a nurse for example  but other times swollen legs and feet can be a symptom of something more serious like congestive heart failure because you state you feel fatigued you are considered symptomatic  in other words you are not just experiencing swollen feet with no other complaints asymptomatic and any time a patient has at least one sign swelling plus symptoms fatigue it deserves to be investigated if possible go back to your doctor as soon as you can if nothing else call your doctor is nurse and explain how you are feeling they will give you guidance on what to do wishing you well
