Brief Answer: To rule out Hypothyroidism Detailed Answer: Namasthe Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day One of the possibility i could think of in your case in Hypothyroidism, it has to be considered as a cause in the presence of generalized weakness symptoms especially if asscoiated with cold intolerance. Apart from nutritional deficiency of Vitamin you could be having, Hypothyroidism is to be ruled out by getting Serum T3,T4 and TSH levels done. If the reports are normal then there is no cause for concern. I would suggest you the following which will go a long way in helping you, apart from nutritional supplementation you are taking 1. Adequate intake of water: Consume 2-3 liter of water a day 2. Avoid Low fiber diet, Caffeine, fried food and spicy food 3. Consume high fiber diet: 2 servings of vegetable salad and two servings of fruits a day will take care of the fibre requirement of the day and will also provide you much needed Nutrients needed by the body 4. Regular Exercise: Brisk 30 minutes walk twice a day at a stretch is the best exercise for all age group and also helps maintaining muscle tone and bulk. 5. Meditation and Yoga will also be beneficial 6. Adequate sleep: Uninterrupted sleep for 7- 8 hours at a stretch is also very helpful in maintaining tone and is very refreshing. I hope it helped. In case you need any further assistance , will be glad to assist you. Take Care Best regards Dr T Shobha Deepak MBBS,MD

Brief Answer: Revaluation by your Physician required. Detailed Answer: Namasthe Greetings Normal Ultrasound of neck does not rule out Hypothyroidism. It could be subclinical Hypothyroidism. From the description given by you , you seem to be having generalised oedema known as Anasarca. Would suggest you to consult your Physician for complete revaluation of your cardiac status as well as body mass index. In case you require any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Brief Answer: Thorough evaluation by your Physician required Detailed Answer: Namasthe Smell in the urine is possibly due to intake of B complex of vitamin which are excreted in large quantity and cause dark yellow colour and the typical smell as described by you. There is no cause for concern. Possibly due to presence of surrounding oedema, penis must be appearing as buried. I would suggest you a thorough evaluation by your Physician, a good clinical examination and further investigation by him will be able to arise at diagnosis for the cause of oedema 1. Cardiac evaluation 2. Serum Biochemistry to rule out low Albumin level Kindly take up an appointment with physician at earliest. Wishing you a very happy and healthy life.

Hello doc , As i read regarding edema can side effect of drug . I have taken before one year BP tab before amlodopine 5 mg, as well ctd h 6.5 . Due to hight BP doc priscribe me 25 mg of seloken xl with olsor 20 mg in morning . Due to body not accept its change with seloken lx 25 and stamlo 5 mg . Now under went acupunter its some what control and taking right now 5 mg of stamlo . As per the below update is any one of the above bp medicine is effect of calcium channel blockers . Along am taking calcium tab citromacalvit and vitamin d3 medcine . Another question will affect my partner this edema while having sex . before going to doc can you confirm with my body picture of the skin symtoms like edema. Sometimes, peripheral edema is a side effect of a drug. Among the many drugs known to cause swelling are calcium channel blockers, corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the anti-seizure drug gabapentin (Neurontin), and certain drugs for diabetes -- particularly thiazolidinediones.

Brief Answer: Amlodepine does not cause generalised oedema Detailed Answer: Greetings Amlodepine known to cause oedema but it is only restricted to feet. It is not known to cause diffuse oedema as described by you. You can definitely send me your clinical photograph for me to give a opinion about the oedema based on visual inspection. Your condition will definitely not affect your partner. You require thorough assessment including 1. Body mass index 2. Endocrine profile 3. Cardiac status evaluation In case you require any further assistance, will be glad to assist you. Take care Best Regards Dr T Shobha Deepak

Brief Answer: Flabiness due to Obesity Detailed Answer: Greetings There is no harm in taking calcium supplementation. From the clinical picture provided by you, the cause of flabiness is due to excessive fat. The penis appears buried due to presence of excessive pre pubic pad of fat. If your endocrine profile is normal including thyroid profile, i would suggest you weight loss using diet modification and exercise( as previously mentioned by me). Consult a Dietician for diet plan and start exercising on regular basis. Renal function test include Blood urea, Serum Creatinine, and BUN. Also do get serum protein and albumin level. I hope you have no habit of alcohol consumption, if you have , discontinuation is advisable. In case you require any further guidance , do get back to me. Take Care Regards
