could it be from the sodium and msg?
I'm 23, I'm not overweight--my bmi is normal. my legs are equally edematous, so I don't think it's DVT. I have had extensive tests done on my heart about 3 years ago because it was skipping beats, but they didn't find anything. My heart still skips a beat every once in a while. I am concerned that it might be my heart. I know it could be fluid overload, but I didn't drink that much water today or yesterday. I had my kidney function tested but all my labs are normal. This is driving me nuts. I don't know why my legs get edema like this. It's all the way up the shin. I think it could be venous insufficiency. cause the pain in my calves is relieved with raising my legs for the most part. I don't know though. is there any one out there with more knowledge than me who can shed some light on the topic?
