Hi, you are aged 61 years, and have hypertension, diabetis, high cholesterol, these are suffecient to produce the symptoms by themselves, or due to the gastric irritation of the tablets.
These symptoms have nothing to do with the umblical hernia, or ascitis. Still if you have any doubt consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
