Can Heart Stents And High Protein Levels Cause Swollen Neck And Legs?
My daughter is 18 and three years ago had a stent out in her heart for a coacrtation of the aorta. She has been fine ever since. Then this thurs we took her to hospital with a bp of 200/110. She was all swellled in her legs and neck. Doctors don t have a clue what s wrong. She has high level of protein in her urine too. A week ago we were at the beach and there was a water bacteria warning which we didn t know until after the fact. She got sick with pain in right side, vomiting and diarrhea for just one night and that was it. She s had an EKG and eco on her heart and all is good as where the ultrasounds on her kidneys and arteries leading to kidneys. She s had every blood test and culture done and still nothing. She feels fine otherwise
