Suggest Treatment For Liver Cirrhosis And Clogged Arteries

I am 72 yr old woman with clogged arteries and liver cirhosis. Lately I have had extreme swelling in my ankles & feet and also have sort of a dry cough & some shortness of breath. I was going to make appt with my GP but my family is saying this could be heart related & I should see my Heart Dr instead. Your opinion ?

Hi,

You should see the doctor that treats your cirrhosis first. If it is not your liver, then see a cardiologist.

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