Feet swelling

[quasimod]

Anyone report swelling feet? I doubt it's the vape, as I'm fat and have been sitting on a wooden chair in front of the computer the last couple of days, but just checking.

Water pill?
They're a necessity, especially this time of year---all those goodies.
I personally love party mix which is loaded with salt.

I guess that kinda makes sense. I drank a lot of water before I started vaping, but now it's redonkulous. Easily 3 or 4 quarts per day.

Now that I think of it, though... I've been drinking a LOT of sweetened ice tea in the last few days. Hmmm. I'll go back to water and see what that does.

This is not a known side effect from vaping or any ingredient in the e-liquid. Look elsewhere for a cause.

I've been trying to figure out why my feet and ankles have been swelling. I didn't think about the vaping although the time frame fits.

Do you have any breathing or heart troubles? Consistent edema (swelling) of the feet is what we call Pedal Edema. It can be a sign of Congestive Heart Failure or CHF as it's known. You should go to a doctor and get checked out. It could just be that you're retaining fluid, or it could be something worse.

I recommend that you see your doctor. It is possible as a side effect of abstaining from nicotine. I have had this coincide with vaping/giving up cigarettes, but I cannot attribute it to any specific thing. However, being immobile at the computer is certainly not helpful. Support bandages and planned exercise may be beneficial.

Best,

Dehydration can cause edema (water retention), so drinking water's a good idea. (Alcohol can also worsen edema.)

Exercise can help a lot, even just walking. (I have a treadmill with a homemade laptop desk on top. Miles a day while I vape and surf!)

Get your thyroid and glucose/insulin tested when you're at the doctor next, just to be sure.

Got a pic of your treadmill/desk? sounds interesting!

I've made two -- one at my place and one at my boyfriend's -- but they're not aesthetically appealing at all! (Nor are their settings...basements.)
One was a give-away treadmill from a friend and the other I bought on Craigslist for $75. On one I used a sheet of Plexiglass and on the other I used a board of 3/4" thick lumber. Glued the Plexi/lumber to risers made of stacked strips of (safe) blue insulation foam, and bungee-corded it to the treadmill panel. A flat desk was created with access to the treadmill panel underneath - a bit awkward but highly functional.

Google "treadmill desk" or "treadputer" for ideas, though. There's a lot of people out there who have made very impressive set-ups.

Nowadays you can also buy the "SurfShelf" on Amazon and elsewhere, and it straps to your treadmill or exercise machine of choice for a ready-made laptop platform.

IMO, the greatest invention ever for the sedentary web surfer. I work out regularly but I hate sitting and typing for hours.
