So I've been having progressively worsening swollen ankles for about a week now. They're even a little swollen when I get out of bed in the morning. Then 4 days ago I woke up to veins hugely bulging in my feet, legs, arms, and hands. That same morning in the shower I was just standing there and had a couple seconds of stars in my vision. A minute later I felt shaky and fatigued. The veins bulging is not getting better and I think the ankle swelling is getting worse. I have felt brief periods of fatigue, lightheadedness, and shortness of breath today too.
Yesterday I broke down and went to urgent care and everything checked out ok. BP is good. But the NP mentioned in passing congestive heart failure and I've been kinda freaking out. I have an appt with my regular doctor today but I am so worried it's heart failure or something else serious. It has been really hot and humid lately but I've been outside all summer without these symptoms, and my energy is normally great so these other symptoms are scaring me too.
Please someone help :(
