Swollen Legs / Ankles
From tiredness to bloating, swollen legs and ankles can have dozens of reasons. However, one of them may be a heart valve problem. More precisely, when fluids build up, it may be because your heart is unable to process blood in and out fast enough.
Don’t panic, though! Unlike other causes for swollen legs, this affection is getting worse in time and never really goes away.
