My mother is suffering from swollen feet since last few days. She is of arround 50+ year of age and weight is 80 kg. She is also having high blood pressure problem. Though earlier her feet were not swollen but now this problem arrises. Should i conect it with blood pressure problem. If it is not the BP problem is there any accurate solution for the problem?

It could be hypertension but also she could be going into heart failure. Take your Mom to the doctor.

She should have her blood pressure checked again. Swollen feet are a problem with high blood pressure. Is she taking medication for it? Make sure she isn't skipping it because it can be very dangerous.Make sure she goes to the doc to get it checked.

Need to get her to see a physician since every case is different. There are so many unanswered questions...does she walk enough, drink water (could be connected to kidney) etc. Try sleeping or resting with a pillow under her feet so as to elevate them a bit.

Stay away from salt or salty product. It can make you retain water and swell and make the BP go up.
