I did not know what forum to post this question to.
I recently was in the hospital and following many vein punches to diagnose my problem I developed edema. The cardiologist told me not to worry,
the edema was not related to the heart but was caused by many vein punches. I cannot get rid of the edema. I keep my hand on a pile of pillows
so the hand is over the heart but it doesn't help. Any feedback will be appreciated.
