What causes edema in your whole body other then salt and heart problems?
purplelap asked:
I have it all over my body. My legs are swollen, my hands, chest, and even eye lids, and everything. My heart has been checked, I have been checked for blood clots, and everything else is working fine. I don’t eat a lot of salt in my diet. I usually get this way in hot weather but lately it has been cold under 30 degrees F. Any suggestions?

kidney problems can cause this. You are correct on the other two.

Sugar can also cause it, as well as bad diets.
