Brief Answer: Please provide more of your medical data... Detailed Answer: Hi, Before running into final conclusions, I'd like to have more of your medical data: - What drugs are you currently taking for RA? - do you suffer of high blood pressure? if yes, what types of meds are you taking? - May I know your gender and age? - have you measured blood sugar level? - do you have other health problems/symptoms? - have you had any health examination: cardiac echo, EKG, stress test, abdominal ultrasound or other tests? Can you upload the reports? Looking forward to have the requested data in for better assistance! Thank you! Dr.Albana
