What Causes Swelling In Hands Of An Elderly Person?
Thank you! My mother is 91 years of age. She has developed swollen hands in the past 3 days - the tops of her hands are very puffy. It started with one hand and now the other. She has had arthritis most of her life. We visit the doctor a great deal but this is a new problem. She has an aging heart and is on medication to raise her blood pressure for better blood movement through her heart.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it could be geriatric symptoms and it may be due to heart and lungs element (edema ) respiratory syndrome could be possible cause such case needs to be looked for underlying causes for treatment hope this information helps.
