Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

Recurring yeast and UTI is most commonly due to decreased personal hygiene and decreased immunity. I would suggest you get in touch with your treating doctor to rule out causes of decreased immunity. One of the most common reasons being anemia and nutritional deficiency, which can be easily treated by some lifestyle and dietary changes.
I suggest you get a dietary advice which should help correct anemia and also control your blood pressure. Iron rich foods like spinach, green leafy vegetables, dates and ragi can be included in your daily diet.
Regular exercise can also help deal with stimulating your immune system and help control blood pressure.
But before starting any exercise, take advice from your treating doctor, especially as you have epilepsy.
I hope I have helped you with this answer.
Thanks.
