Swollen Legs? It Could Be More Than Fatigue
Swollen legs and ankles aren’t always harmless. While standing too long or eating too much salt can cause temporary swelling, persistent or sudden swelling may signal poor circulation, heart, kidney, or liver disease—or even a dangerous blood clot (DVT).
If the swelling doesn’t go away, affects one leg, or comes with pain, redness, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention. Don’t ignore your body’s warning signs.
