Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.

1)First of all do not panic.

2)Your symptoms except dizziness can not be related to pregnancy.
I will suggest you to wait for your expected date of menses.
If you have missed your periods, I will suggest getting morning’s first sample of urine tested for pregnancy.

3)I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.
Have adequate water intake , say 8 – 10 glasses per day.
Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.
Avoid substance abuse, if any.
Start on FOLIC ACID, B12 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to have baby.

4) For the swelling on your hands, please get the following things ruled out -
a. cervical spine(neck) problem
b. medical issue like allergy or blood vessels or lymphatic tissue related problem

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
