Medical Nightmare Dream

I had this dream that I had severe edema around my ankles, far worse than I had with the first flare-up of gout, and that I also had all of these gross varicose veins in my feet and ankles.

I had this dream when I was in a half-awake half-asleep state when I had to get up to go to the bathroom. I looked down at my feet, before I was fully awake, and saw them in this state. So it was kind of between asleep and awake and kind of between a dream and hallucination. It went away once I was all the way awake.

Anyway, as I looked, I could see my ankles balloon out with my heart beat, and the varicose veins would expand with each heartbeat as well. It was major creepy and really rattled me.
