HELP NOT PG BUT ANKELS SWOLEN UP LIKE BALLONS

[trace2]

feel a little under weather,and my feet have got so big and it hurts to walk on them, they feel so tight.
what could it be, whats causing this, i know an tried because ds got chickenpox and been up a lot but can that cause feet to swell?

hoping mumsnet can help.

Trace,

I am going to be brutally frank with you: if you do not tell your Dr about this NOW or go STRAIGHT to casualty you could die. Then who will look after your son? Your symptoms are typical of severe heart failure. Left untreated this will NOT go away.

I nearly died of heart failure due to cardiomyopathy. I suffered the same symptoms as you. A heart transplant this year saved my life. Take responsibility for your life. You owe it to your loved ones.

PLEASE GO TO YOUR DOCTOR AND/OR A&E!

Pete :-)

just to let you all know ankles nearly normal now, just feeling sick, but still ringing gps tomorrow.

Awwww you norty norty thing!!!

Never mind ringing the GP, GO to the GP!!!

nbg how you feeling?

Erm....

More and more Hormonal everyday!
Nearly passed out on the toilet this morning, lol.

i realy think you are pg, do a home test if you dont i will bring one to you.

A mumsnetter called HoxtonChick has been majorly nice and is sending me some.

I can't wait 4 weeks to re-test because if I'm not I want to know whats wrong with me.
I was quite scared this morning because I felt so strange.

Haresseddad is right. swellings on the ankles, legs stomache and othe r'pockets' (small of back ,lungs etc) are al lsymptons of LEFT heart failure. it is one of the things the local hospital refesed to aknowledge with peter when he was ill, even tho i told them he was showing signs of LHF. get yourself to the hospital.

misdee how is peter? is feeling sick an other sympton?

yes. not saying you have it, but you need to get yourself seen to, a chest x-ray needs to be done.

hope you do go trace2. I couldn't respond to you not going yesterday as I wasn't in the right frame of mind. My best mate has been ignoring different symptoms to you and is now in hospital. She looks so ill and can't eat

I'm sure yours is nothing to worry about but you're being silly IMO if you don't find out. I know it's scary but what's the alternative?

OH Ulysees whats wrong with her ? hope shes ok

oi why arent you at the hospital!!

They don't know, she's having an ultrasound scan on her abdomen tomorrow. She's the colour of putty, no appetite, has runs and is in awful pain even though she's on pain killers

Did you get to the hospital or the GP?

Sorry I'm in mother mode and I really think you should get this sortrd out. Look at DS and DH and realise how much they need you, it might help you get over your fears and get yourself properly treated.
