hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough clinical assessment is advised.
As you have swelling of the lower limb for which medicine was taken and also now meeting up and
endocrinologist, I feel you have a weak
metabolism which is leading to the factors.
As when one gets swelling along with
Hypertension, the first assessment goes towards the cardiac pathology, as weakness of the cardiac muscles will lead to reduces veonous pulling and the swelling is the case.
Also, in my clinical practice when patient comes with swelling, as they are
geriatrics I prefer to recommend
physical therapy.
As a proper assessment is performed and later, the exercises are directed. Most Patients recover with the swelling as the overall body conditioning exercises are performed. Also , improving the metabolism and cardiac endurance are the key role in health.
Many people when diagnosed with Hypertension do not perform exercises as it requires a patience.
My clinical practice helps me understand that exercises along with medication has proven to give better outcome scores.
