Brief Answer:
Further details required
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. I would need you to get a few tests done and to let me know the reports:
* Your blood pressure. If raised, for how long? How long have you been on medication? This is because high blood pressures can lead to ankle edema.
* Echocardiogram. Do you have chest pains once in a while? This is to rule out congestive cardiac failure.
* Blood urea and creatinine levels. Chronic kidney disease can lead to such edema.
The blood pressure needs to be monitored and antihypertensive regimen might need to be modified.
I will await your response. Based on your inputs I would guide you further.
Regards
