Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just completely the 9 day BIke across Kansas - I am 48 years old and in good health. The last 3 days of the ride I would wake up with a puffy swollen face - the swelling would go down as the day progressed and then would show up again the next morning. The ride ended on Saturday and on sunday I had swelling in my lower legs - and my legs just feel heavy - I am normally not winded and am winded after climbing 3 flights of stairs. My face isn t swollen in the morning now but I am a bit concerned what all this means.
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you are having high blood pressure. This causes puffing on face and in lower limb. I would suggest you to get your blood pressure check up and also blood urea and nitrogen checkup. This will help us in confirming your diagnosis. If there is high blood pressure then you need to take salt restricted diet and also take anti hypertensive tablets. I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
