How to reduce the swelling of feet and legs caused by the heart quickly

Heart-induced swelling of the feet and legs should not be treated only for swelling of the feet, but should be treated by removing the causes or triggers, general treatment, medication and other methods. Heart-induced swelling of the feet and legs is usually due to heart failure, which in turn produces symptoms of lower extremity bruising. For treatment, if the patient’s heart failure is aggravated by upper respiratory tract infections and other diseases that lead to the symptoms, the causative factors should be removed and upper respiratory tract infections should be treated; in terms of general treatment, the patient’s intake of water and salt should be limited in order to avoid aggravating the heart failure. In terms of medication, diuretics such as furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide and spironolactone can be used to alleviate the symptoms of lower limb edema; drugs such as digoxin, captopril, candesartan and metoprolol can also be used for treatment. In addition, the key is to clarify the cause of the disease and treat the cause. Reducing edema is not the main purpose, but treating heart failure is the fundamental goal. If the patient has symptoms of swollen feet and legs caused by the heart, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
