Swollen legs may be a sign of heart failure, kidney failure, or liver failure. In these conditions, there is too much fluid in the body.

Conduct ECG, Echocardiography, Kidney function tests and Liver function tests in consultation with a Cardiologist and Gastroenterologist.

Check your post-prandial blood sugar (2 hours after taking food) daily and fasting blood sugar occasionally. Fasting blood sugar must be less than 100 mg/dL and PPBS must be less than 140 mg/dL.

Eating methi dana on empty stomach once a day should be sufficient if you are taking all other measures to control your sugar level.Swelling of the feet may be due to an entirely different reason.Please consult your doctor.

Dear bhundo, I am generally in agreement with sri.gangadharan_nair's opinion "there is too much fluid in the body,

conduct ECG, Echocardiography, Kidney function tests and Liver function tests in consultation with a Cardiologist and Gastroenterologist".... to arrive at the root cause of your ailment.

Completely stop eating horse-gram & its other derivatives like gram flour & all items prepared out of it. Cut down on all pulses (eat only green moong dal. Cut down on wheat & wheat products (u can keep taking 'Long Wheat kanji'). Go for mostly small meals of citrus fruit & vegetable diet & green moong dal. Drastically cut down on 'table salt.

Consult a good Doctor/hospital, who may prescribe some 'diuretic' medicine to flush out your excessive fluids, which most likely are the cause of swelling(edema). Take urgent medical help, otherwise swelling will appear on face/under eyes first & then other body parts. It means poisonous toxins are being retained in your body. Retention of fluids in body(& toxins) can lead to severe complications like renal/ chronic kidney failure etc. Consult a Doctor....get allied tests done....follow your Dr.'s advise. Simultaneously, make dietary changes as suggested above. God willing your swellings will go away. Blessings 2 u & all.
