My swollen tummy and feet

Published by

I have been finding it difficult to sleep well these past few weeks. The alarming thing is that my tummy, scrotum and feet are now swelling. My friends thought it was the beer I was drinking that caused the problem. I have stopped drinking yet, the problem has persisted. Kindly let me know the way forward.

Swelling of the abdomen and the extremities are usually signs of a failing heart (Congestive Cardiac Failure). The causes can range from an uncontrolled high pressure, heart deformities to drug reactions among other possible causes. My advice is for you to seek a proper medical attention at the Teaching or Specialist hospital nearest to you.
