Suggest Remedy For Hypertension And Swelling Of Ankles
Hi. My son was born with CCAM. I had symptoms that resembled toxemia during my pregnancy but after I delilvered my child the symptoms did not go away. Hypertension and water retention. My son s condition was not discovered until later and he only has 1 lobe that is non-cystic. His left lower lobe has already been removed. My question is because I now continue to have hypertension and my ankles swell. Can there be permanent damage from mirrored syndrom? This is something that can happen during pregnancy with this condition.
Swelling in ankles when you are hypertensive can be either due to anti-hypertensive drugs or underlying heart disease which may require further evaluation.
If you are taking Amlodipine to control your blood pressure, then you need to change your drugs taking your health provider's consultation.

Suggest Remedy For Hypertension And Swelling Of Ankles
Hello, Swelling in ankles when you are hypertensive can be either due to anti-hypertensive drugs or underlying heart disease which may require further evaluation. If you are taking Amlodipine to control your blood pressure, then you need to change your drugs taking your health provider s consultation. If taking some other drugs then kindly get an ECG and echocardiography done and consult a cardiologist personally. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
