I am looking for information about swlling of the legs of a person with a heart condition. He is 13 yrs old and was born with a rare heart condition and is on vacation right now, and called home and said his legs have been swollen all day. He left yesterday,and the swelling is from his feet to his knees. Is this something to worry about, or is there any over the counter meds that can help?

Shirley... Actos is a treatment for Type 2 Diabetes. Your doctor can tell you for certain which type you have. The main difference is in Type 1, people produce no insulin, and require insulin medication... Hope that helps
