Tiny red spots-any ideas?

I've got quite a few tiny(pin prick sized)red spots on the tops of both feet and my feet are also quite swollen.Have been to the doctor as I'm also constantly tired and I'm having a blood test tomorrow.Just wondered if anyone else has had the same,and/or has any idea what it may be.
Thanks

It sounds like a few of the capilaries have leaked, it could be because of the swelling. I've no idea what it could be though, sorry.

I hope you get an answer soon.

Do they blanche when you press on them?

If not, It could be petechia. DD1 gets them when she has a bath that is too hot and once when she choked - they are tiny burst capillaries. Lots of different causes, so it sounds like your doc is doing the right thing.
