Question
Hi My fingers and feet swell all the time i feel my fingers swelling. Please could you tell me what the reason is also i feel very hot. I suffer with high blood pressure is this the reason.

Answer
Dear Ann-Marie,  There are many possibilities that could be causing your fingers and feet to swell and arthritis is probably NOT one of them....

Poor blood circulation do to high blood pressure or undiagnosed heart disease is just one thing...  Also, liver and kidney problems can cause this to happen...

I strongly suggest that your doctor check you for an undiagnosed heart condition, and also do some liver and kidney blood work to make sure they are functioning properly...

Most all people with high blood pressure also have an undiagnose heart condition or people with heart conditions have high blood pressure....

Thank you,   karen
