Can a bad heart cause swollen feet?

Heart disease is a very serious disease in the human body. Although the current medical level is very advanced, there is still no cure for heart disease. The heart is like the engine of a car. If the engine breaks down, the car will be paralyzed unless you replace the engine with a new one. But where can you get a new heart? Therefore, you must be in a good mood at ordinary times, which will help your heart beat better.

Patients with heart failure, especially those with right heart failure, will have lower limb edema due to congestion in the systemic circulation, which blocks the blood flowing to the lower limbs and returning to the heart. The edema is mostly pitting edema, which may disappear after early activities or lying down. It will continue to worsen in the late stage and require diuretic, cardiotonic and antihypertensive treatment. It is recommended that you seek medical attention at the cardiology department to identify the cause of the disease and to seek appropriate treatment to rule out other possible diseases.

Heart failure may cause lower limb edema. In your case, it is recommended that you undergo further examination to find out the cause and pay attention to controlling your blood pressure.

The elderly person's swollen feet need to be further examined in the hospital to rule out heart disease or kidney disease, and at the same time, the thyroid function should be tested to rule out thyroid disease, and targeted treatment should be given after clear examination.

The elderly person's condition may be due to edema caused by heart failure. Do not hang too much saline solution, use some diuretics, and at the same time perform cardiotonic and coronary artery dilation treatments, control fluid intake, and eat a low-salt diet. It is recommended to use some diuretic and cardiotonic drugs.

Swollen feet are related to heart failure in the elderly. The patient should rest in bed, be given cardiotonic and diuretic drugs to correct heart failure, and be given fluid infusion (but the amount of fluid should be controlled) to supplement nutrition, electrolytes and anti-infection treatment.
