Swelling + Itching?

soontobehimes · February 2011

So I've started swelling in my feet, hands, face, etc. (YAY!) but this really odd itching sensation is coming along with it..... anyone else? I wonder how my BP is. This is one of the worst symptoms, I think!!

I would check your BP if you are able to. Any headaches? Usually headaches come with high BP. Hope everything is ok.

I'm itchy when my legs swell as well. I attribute it to nothing more than skin stretching and dry winter air. Keep up the fluids and moisturizer. But when in doubt ask your doc.

I second the pp who said to have your blood pressure checked. Crazy itching can most definitely be a symptom that your BP is rising...especially when coupled with with swelling in your face and hands. Hopefully it is just winter skin, but I would look into it just in case.
