Why do my feet swell after doing it for a long time?

Nowadays, more and more people sit in front of computers for long periods of time. Some even sit for the whole day without basically moving. This is indeed not good for your health in the long run. If you have time after get off work, try to exercise more. After all, good health comes first. Some people often experience swollen feet after sitting for a long time. What is going on? Let’s take a look with the editor below!

Common edema involves the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys. I hope you go to the hospital for a detailed check-up. Check urine routine to see if there is nephritis and pyelonephritis, and check cardiac ultrasound to see if there is any problem with the heart valves. Take an X-ray to see if there is cor pulmonale, etc. An electrocardiogram is performed to check for arrhythmia, and an abdominal ultrasound is performed to check for cirrhosis. Find the cause and treat it.

Also note that 1. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time; get up and walk around every once in a while at home or at work; 2. Raise your feet above the height of your heart before going to bed; 3. Avoid eating foods with strong flavors. Salt is not just table salt or things that taste salty, but it actually refers to all sauces, pickles, or beverages high in sodium. Eat more fruits and vegetables (rich in potassium) because sodium and insulin will retain water in the body, and the role of potassium in the body is to excrete water; 4. Live a regular life and don't overwork yourself; 5. Exercise regularly; do foot muscle pump exercises frequently to prevent and eliminate leg swelling.

Considering that it is likely caused by poor peripheral circulation, it is recommended to raise your feet appropriately to help peripheral circulation.

Most cases of venous thrombosis are caused by high blood lipids and blood viscosity. Poor peripheral circulation and venous thrombosis can be treated with blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs in the early stages to reduce fat intake.

Lower limb edema is common in heart disease, kidney disease, lower limb phlebitis, etc. The thrombosis caused by phlebitis can affect many important tissues and organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain. According to your laboratory test results, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a lower limb angiography and laboratory tests to assist in diagnosis. After the diagnosis is confirmed, timely treatment should not be delayed.
