Question

Why are my feet so swolen? is it because of my high blood pressure im 15 by the way?

Answer 1

High blood pressure can contribute to swollen ankles and feet.  Or this can be a sign of something more serious.  If you experience any shortness of breath or heart palpitations, go to the doctor immediately.  If you push on the swelling (fairly hard) and your fingerprint indentation stays in your swollen skin for a few seconds, go to the doctor soon.

If you elevate your feet above your heart and the swelling goes down, it is just an accumulation of water and may not be dangerous.  You need to drink more water, elevate your feet everyday for about 20 minutes, walk everyday for about 30 min., avoid salt and eat lots of fruits and veggies.  

If the swelling persists, consult your doctor.

Congestive heart failure is the failure of the heart to pump blood around the body to the organs, the patient cannot exert themselves because they become short of breath and tired.  The organs cannot function and start to fail, causing retained water.  the fluid builds up in the tissues and drains to the feet causing edema and the fluid can also collect in the lungs effectively drowning the patient.  This failure of all the organs will eventually kill the person unless treated.

Answer 2

are you kinda of overweight??? need more details about you

Answer 3

Chances are your feet are swollen because you are retaining fluid.  High blood pressure will very often have a part in retaining fluid.  I am guessing that you may be overweight and not too physically active.  High Blood pressure can be pretty dangerous for you.  Make sure if your feet are that swollen that you talk to your doctor about it.
