*Do you experience leg swelling after long standing or sitting in a bus. ?*
_________________________________
*Leg swelling* after long periods of standing or sitting is a common issue, especially during travel. Here are the main reasons why this happens:
✅Gravity:
When you stand or sit for a long time, gravity pulls fluids down into your legs and feet. This is called dependent edema.
✅Reduced Muscle Activity:
When you're not moving much, your calf muscles don't contract as often. These muscles help pump blood back up from your legs to your heart. When they're not active, blood flow slows down, and fluids can pool in your legs.
✅Vein Issues:
Some people have weakened valves in their veins, making it harder for blood to flow back to the heart. This can lead to fluid buildup in the legs and feet, especially after long periods of sitting or standing.
✅Other Factors:
Dehydration, being overweight, and certain medications can also contribute to leg swelling.
