when a new drug started to shut my kidneys down. It's no fun, especially when it's hot as Hades and you can't wear sandals because your feet blister up through the gaps. Having sneakers jammed full of feet is marginally better.

Compression stockings will help. You might also check with your doc here about diuretics and/or restricting your daily fluid, depending on what the problem is from. In my case, it's kidneys. Yours might be cardiac.

In either case, it could be an easy fix, just taking some pills in the morning. Please get this checked out.
