I have swelling in my feet and face, especially in the morning. What could be the possible cause? I also have a history of abdominal swelling, and my reports show high salt levels. What does this indicate?
Swelling in the feet and face, especially in the morning, along with a history of abdominal swelling and elevated salt levels, may suggest excess fluid buildup in your body. This can happen when the kidneys are not working properly, as they help control the balance of salt and water in the body. When kidney function is reduced, salt builds up and causes water retention, leading to swelling in different parts of the body. Another possible reason could be excessive salt intake in your diet, which can also increase fluid retention and worsen swelling. In some cases, heart, liver, or hormonal problems may also contribute to similar symptoms. Since you already have a history of abdominal swelling, it is important not to ignore these signs. You should get your kidney function tests, urine tests, and blood pressure checked to find the exact cause. Reducing salt in your daily diet and following your doctor?s advice can help control the swelling and prevent complications.
