Hello ,
All the medication you have mentioned for the heart does not cause increase in weight .
The benefits of cardace to protect your heart and kidney is far more and should be continued.
Zoryl for you diabetes may cause increase in appetite and henceforth weight gain .
However I would stress again , do not stop the medications , if there is any swelling in the lower limbs than you may consult your doctor , consider ruling out thyroid , if everything nomral a dietician consult may help .
