Brief Answer:
If the heaviness persists, let her see a doctor!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
High cholesterol and diabetes are risk factors for stroke. With a persistently high blood pressure, this raises concerns. If the hand is still heavy, I will like that she gets evaluated to make sure there is nothing we are missing out on. This shouldn’t represent a minor stroke which is always a risk factor for a bigger one with many more consequences.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me and keep me updated.
