Is there any way to control the swelling in my feet and hands?

I just not noticed that they are getting swollen. Is there any way to slow it down? Any advice would help. And please no stupid answers.Is there any way to control the swelling in my feet and hands?
How far are you? Is it major swelling?





When mine started swelling it was because my BP went up and I was ordered on bed rest. After a few days on bed rest I had lost 10 pounds of water weight from all my swelling. Try taking it easy and lay on your left side. You can also limit your intake of sodium, since it helps retain water. You might get to your doctor because the swelling can be a sign of pre-eclampsia.Is there any way to control the swelling in my feet and hands?
you can help relieve some of the swelling by laying on your left side. A certain amount of swelling is normal, but call your doctor if you notice swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, more than slight swelling of your hands, or excessive or sudden swelling of your feet or ankles. This could be a sign of preeclampsia, a serious condition.


Also call your doctor if you notice that one leg is significantly more swollen than the other, especially if you have any pain or tenderness in your calf or thigh.


Try elevating your legs, dont cross your legs when you sit, stretch when possible, drink lots of water, and avoid junk food..





hope this helps, good luck.
Drink lots of water. As crazy as it sounds, staying hydrated can help with the swelling.





If the swelling is sudden and really bad, call your doctor to have your blood pressure checked.
