Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in hands and wrists along with pain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like standing for prolonged periods of time , taking estrogen or testosterone , antidepressants , blood pressure medications , steroids or NSAIDs , infection in the leg area , venous insufficiency , organ failure or lymphedema . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper diagnosis once again . Doctor may order liver and kidney function test along with heart tests like ECG and complete blood profile . Doctor may alter the dose of diuretics or prescribe substitute . Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist in case of liver problem or nephrologist in case of kidney problems. Keep your legs elevated while lying down .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
