I have very high blood pressure, extrememe odema - distended stomach and swollen legs, I cannot seem to keep my electrolytes balanced, so I get terrble mucle cramps unless I take a lot of electrolyte salts (like nuuns).
i have had my liver and kidneys poked and prodded and the doctor says they are fine, same with my heart.
Any ideas? Thanks, Bill Mc

Hi,
From your history it seems that you require evaluation of your case.
Consult physician and get examined.
He may go for,
1,Liver function tests,
2, kidney function test
3, EKG,
4, Blood electrolytes.
After all reports he will come on diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Ok and take care.
