Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Dizziness Along With Swollen Ankle
I have been feeling faint for about 3 days on and off. I always have a slow pulse usually 50 or less. My blood pressure today was 119/60. I have bronchiectasis diagnosed approx. 6 years ago. My ankles are swelling quite a bit this warm weather. I am female aged 65 and weigh 14stone
I think the swelling in legs may be related to varicose veins or kidney issues. Having edema on legs makes fluid to remain in the limbs and this can cause low blood pressure and dizziness. Please do a biochemical blood balance and electrolytes. Remain hydrated and elevate limbs
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
