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.
Need to lose weight. Lost 80 lbs earlier with treadmill, but can no longer use as injured hip & then rotator cuff. Current weight 169, & 5 1.75 in tall, Origionally got down to 130 lbs. Take only Hydroclothorazide (half 25 mg) & Lisinopril for blood pressure @ 15 mg daily. Was taking Nortriptyline for PHN, but it makes me gain. I recently stopped that as it didn t help much. I also have Sjogrens disorder. Have had trouble getting to sleep in past, which was helped with nortriptyline as I have sleep apnea, made worse by a higher weight. Would like to lose 35 lbs. I am 72. Rotator cuff was repaired. No room for treadmill now. Disabled husband requires my care as he has open thorocotomy from lung cancer, 83 yrs old.
