Suggest Medication To Improve Appetite And Extreme Weakness

My mom had knee surgery 4 weeks ago. She has been home from 2 weeks of rehab for 8 days. Her appetite is decreasing, she feels full after a few bites, and then begins to belch a lot for hours after. In addition, she is extremely weak, very sore from PT and home exercises, and says she just doesn't feel well. She wants to lay in bed and I have to really enforce she get up and move, eat and drink. She's 74, diabetic, overweight, and in general poor shape. Her BP and sugar were out of wack in rehab and they gave her too many conflicting meds which her Internist has reconfigured. That seemed to help with her nausea and diarrhea she experienced last week. Her BP is lower than usual for her and her pulse was 55 today. She's a retired RN, but isn't a very compliant patient when it comes to following her own instructions she issues when I am sick. I'm worried about her lack of appetite and extreme weakness.

Hello & Welcome to HCM,

I had gone through the case and found that feeling of weakness might be due to overweight.

As she is diabetic and hypertensive, so she needs lot of care for diet.

Check her HbA1C to find the exact reading of sugar.It might be high.

Give her crushed black paper with few lemon drop and little salt in food, which will improve her taste. Inspite of it also give her Liv-52.

Along with it give her meganeuron and Vitamin D to improve the weakness. Give her almonds and walnut in breakfast.

Yoga and deep meditaion help to reduce her weight.

She needs to change her life style under supervision.
Definitely she will be fine. I have treated lot of patients like her.

Hope my answer will be effective for her.

Thanks,
