Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My doctor tested both my urine & blood and found a +1 value for protiens. This didnt seem too problematic to the 2nd doctor who said tell me again in 40 years then Ill worry. However, the 1st doctor seemed to pay attention to the symptoms 1) severe lower tummy swelling, I would not call it bloating because it is turgid. 2) swelling of hands, feet & eyes (approximately 2 times the regular size) 3) blood pressure normal for all but high for me 120/80 im normally under 100/70 or so. When urinating I do see foamy small bubbles in the toilet and at one point I did urinate a dark orange brown urine; which subsiquently has turned a normal to a little dark yellow.
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your symptoms can be of kidney failure or heart disease which is why your body is retaining fluid.
It's recommended for you to get CBC, KFT, LFT, ECG, Echocardiograpy, X-ray chest and a ultrasound abdomen done and consult a physician with reports for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap,
Cardiologist
