Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your mother's in law clinical scenario raises suspicions on a possible lower limbs blood vessel disorder (most probably a thrombotic obstruction).
Coming to this point, it is necessary to consult without delay with her attending doctor for a careful physical examination and some additional tests:
- complete blood count,
- PCR,
- ESR,
- coagulation tests,
- lower limbs blood vessels Doppler ultrasound
A new review of her cardiac status and therapy is also necessary.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
In case of any further uncertainties, feel free to ask me again.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
