1. Turn off FR;
2. Lie down;
3. Call a doctor!

Go to a doctor. It’s heart problems or fluid retention.

My leg swells sometimes, but it goes away.

You need to see a doctor and find out WHY. Don’t wait.

Dear Free Republic:

I can’t breathe and my chest is painful. There are shooting pains down my left arm. My face is turning blue. What are your suggestions?

There are a lot of causes for swollen legs. Some need immediate care.

Lay down and put your legs up on pillows. Swollen legs and feet are the first indication of kidney issues. Compression wear will help if it is common for you, but the real cause needs to be checked out.

Agreed. Heart problems. Go to an ER immediately. Check your blood pressure and oxygen if you can.

Call your PCP (Primary Care Physician), and he’ll refer you to a Cardiologist. 20mg or 40mg Lasix will probably be prescribed to drain the Edema problem.

Dear Free Republic:

My face is literally on fire and smoke is coming from my ears. I smell burnt hair. Any ideas on what I should do?

Yep, especially kidney issues if it is sudden.

Whenever my wife asks for medical advice I tell her she needs more sex. You’d be amazed how many ailments it cures. LOL

My pants are on fire and it looks and feels like the flames have spread to my shirt tail. Any suggestions?

Dear Free Republic:

I accidentally chainsawed off my legs. I think I noticed some blood, too. What do you all think are my next steps?
