Swollen feet

Posted By Billy Herman on December 21, 1997 at 09:01:34:









: I am a 44 yr old white, male who is 5'11'' & 225 lbs. Except for the extra weight, am in excellent health. No blood pressure problems.
Several nights ago I noticed my feet and lower legs were swollen. There is no pain or discoloration. The swelling went down in one foot overnight but during the day it swole back up. The only change I made recently in my activities is that I have been standing in one spot a lot at work for the past week. I was TAD to another work site for the week & ate out all the time. I did eat fresh (fried) shelfish the night prior to noticing the swelling. I'm not sure if the swelling was there previously or not but I hadn't noticed it before.
Any ideas as to what my problem might be?
Should I see a doctor if the swelling persists or should I see one anyway?
Should I keep my feet elevated or stay off them as much as possible?
Help please!
