Symptoms Women Shouldn't Ignore

Leg swelling is often blamed on sitting for long periods of time while traveling, but don’t dismiss it as harmless just yet. Swelling in both of your legs could indicate issues with your circulatory or lymphatic system, or even be an indicator of certain types of arthritis. Make an appointment with a doctor, if you’ve noticed any of these symptoms. Swelling in one leg could be a blood clot, which has the danger of becoming dislodged and traveling elsewhere in your body. Seek immediate attention if you have leg swelling and chest pain that lasts for several minutes, difficulty breathing or dizziness.
