Hi,

I feel pity that you have so many diseases at the same time. Walking, doing exercises and good diet will help any individual in his normal life by making some changes in body that will help reduce blood pressure, increase fat burning and reduce sugar levels and many more good effects on heart. But once the disease sets in these will help to control the disease but not cure.

As you have heart problem also, I advise not to worry much as worrying would rather increase blood pressure and damage heart. I would suggest to see a nearby good doctor and discuss with him as the doctor would be seeing you and could tell you clearly what is it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
