“I have swelling in my legs.. What should I do?”
I am a 26 year old girl and all of a sudden I am noticing swelling in my legs particularly when I walk even a short distance. What could be the reason for this swelling and who should I consult?

One of the common reasons are drinking too much fluids. Humans are supposed to urinate every 6 hours and never at night. Control your fluid intake, that will resolve your problem. Another common reason is being overweight.
Any of the 3 organs: heart, liver, or kidney could be the culprit. Severe anemia (lack of blood) could cause that. You need to see an internist and have blood and urine work done.
