Overthe last few days, my legs, arms, ankes and stomach have become really swollen.?

Any ideas why this can be? my period is also slightly late, though on the pill so unlikely to be pregnant. I don't normally have these symptoms am baffled.Overthe last few days, my legs, arms, ankes and stomach have become really swollen.?
Fluid retention?
no idea, i am sure you know what i am gonna suggest dont you?



Phone the doctor!! Or NHS Direct 08454647
Maybe it's because of the sudden heat we've had... it happens to me ankles and fingers sometimes if I've been walking in hot weather.
It sounds as if you have water retention, and you should go to see your doctor if this has appeared out of the blue
Drink plenty of water, sounds like fluid retention.
seriously, go to your doctor! asap!
COULD BE THE WEATHER IF ITS VERY HOT WHERE U ARE.
ARE U TAKING ANY MEDICATION THAT COULD BE CAUSING ODEMA ( FLUID RETENTION )
ARE U DIABETIC/

ARE U TAKING STEROIDS?

GET A BLOOD TEST FOR DIABETES AND KIDNEY DISORDERS IF U CANNOT FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH U.
Could be a DVT, deep-vein thrombosis. The pill can cause this in rare cases. See a GP immediately and check with NHS direct. If its really swollen, ring an ambulance!
Not sure wat is happeneing! The only way to find out is to go to your doctors:)
