I have swelling in my legs.. What should I do?
I am a 26 year old girl and all of a sudden I am noticing swelling in my legs particularly when I walk even a short distance. What could be the reason for this swelling and who should I consult?

One of the common reasons are drinking too much fluids. Humans are supposed to urinate every 6 hours and never at night. Control your fluid intake, that will resolve your problem. Another common reason is being overweight.
Any of the 3 organs: heart, liver, or kidney could be the culprit. Severe anemia (lack of blood) could cause that. You need to see an internist and have blood and urine work done.
Could be your weight, you should see your primary care doctor
