Hi
Thank you for sharing with HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
I read carefully about your husband symptoms and those don't seems to be related to blood pressure or liver changes
You have done well avoiding salt in the daily diet
The swelling might be as a side effect of chemo so I don't see reason to worry too much
Control blood pressure and use liquids (water) oftenly
Wish you good health and fast recovery
Feel free to contact me further questions or queries
