How Do I Feel Today?
4. Do I have swelling?
Swelling in your legs or belly can be a sign that your body is holding on to too much water. This is easy to check.
To check for swelling each morning:
• Press firmly into the skin on the front part of your lower leg or around your belly.
• If your finger makes a pit in your skin, you have swelling in that area.
• Be aware of how much swelling is usual for you and look for changes.
DOING WELL: No swelling
CALL YOUR DOCTOR: Swelling in ankle or shin. Increased swelling in your belly, feeling more bloated
