Swelling in your legs and feet Also known as oedema, swelling in the lower parts of your body could be a sign that something is wrong with your heart. There are many other reasons for oedema, such as taking certain medications, being overweight, or after an insect bite. However, if there isn't a reason or if it doesn't go away, you may want to visit your GP.
