Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I am a 65 year old male. I have previously taken high blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds. I am also overweight (6'2" and about 250 lb.) My problem started before Thanksgiving with constipation. I took stool softeners then laxatives. After that, I still felt very bloated like I needed to pass gas or burp. I look like I'm pregnant and my ankles are very swollen.
