Suggest Treatment For Edema With Balance Problems

Hello, My doctor of chiropractic is very upset with me. I m 61 yrs. young, have some balance problems, i m 5-6 & weigh 209. He took my blood pressure & didn t like the readings. He told me to start & get back to walking again,soon! He knows i have alot of stress being a full time caregiver for my aging parents & and trying to do to much. Also, how to treat edema. I ve gone to see cardiologists about my heart & everything seems to be fine with that. Two yrs. ago, i started walking one mile a day seven days a week & lost nearly 25 lbs. Can loosing weight make edema go away? thankyou. John Hill. Shalom.

Hi,

You have not mentioned in which part you have oedema because oedema can be due to many reasons like in arthritis, in kidney disease, in vericose veins ,age related and many more so it is difficult to suggest you treatement.

If it is in legs better wear stockinet and elevate your leg end while sleeping. For balance problem it is better to get MRI brain done Physiotherapy will help you. And walk with support like stick.

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

Take care

Regards,
