Sent to Health Experts April 08, 2007 10:35 a.m.

I exercise regularly (walk at least 3 hours a day) but for the past few days, I have noticed that my legs and arms are retaining water (my legs especially are hard with the edema) and there are red splotches on my legs that look like hives. I have no known allergies. After lying in bed for 8 hours at night, the condition is somewhat better, although not entirely. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Optional Information:
Female, Age: 52, Utah

Already Tried:
Elevation of legs. Rest. Drink purified water with lemon. Cool bath.

I'm 5'4 inches and weigh 190 lbs. I do not take any medication, I have elevated cholesterol readings (hereditary) but have never had any health issues relating to such.

Hi,

In my opinion you need to be investigated.

You are advised following investigations

Liver function test, Renal function test. X- Ray chest & complete blood counts including blood sugar level.

The fact that I am a 52 old female has already been established. Are there any other questions?
