Funny you should mention hands and feet swelling.
My fathers feet especially would swell and he would have to wear mule slippers or slip on beach type shoes. He also bought really low cut runners for out doors.
Frankly his feet and ankles looked like old lady feet sorta like the Queens do! No disrespect to older people but thats the best description I can come up with.
Some days his fingers looked like cocktail sausages but they were never as bad as his feet.
I always thought that was strange in a man only 60 years old who was walking daily and not overweight.
Unfortunately it was too late for him by the time he was properly diagnosed so I don't know if having phlebes would have helped.
Perhaps this is another overlooked symptom that is an indication of HH?
