❤️ Heart Problems
If the heart struggles to pump efficiently (such as in heart failure), blood backs up in the veins. This increases pressure and pushes fluid into tissues.
Warning signs:
-
Swelling in both legs
-
Shortness of breath
-
Fatigue
-
Rapid weight gain from fluid
🩺 Kidney Issues
Your kidneys regulate fluid balance. When they don’t function properly, fluid retention increases.
Possible signs:
-
Swelling in feet and face
-
Foamy urine
-
Changes in urination
-
Fatigue
🧠 Liver Disease
Liver dysfunction affects protein production and fluid regulation, leading to swelling in the legs and abdomen.
