Suggest Homeopathic Medication For Swelling In Right Leg Post A Stroke Attack
I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure when I suffered a stroke in May. I also am type-2 diabetic, with high blood pressure. I have never smoked or drank, only drugs are all the meds I take now. Because the stroke affected my right (dominant) side, I have not been able to mentally re-connect it so that I can do any physical exercise. I have been suffering from a lot of swelling in my right leg; my left leg in normal. I have also developed a cough that only subsides if I am sitting up. Unfortunately I am on Medicaid, and my PCP doesn t seem to be concerned about anything. Is there something I can do, maybe over the counter or homeopathic that will reduce the swelling? Putting feet up only helps a little, and the swelling returns as soon as I am sitting or standing.
General & Family Physician, Dr. Varinder's Response
Hello,
Your swelling in feet and cough complaint is due to cardiac failure. You should maintain proper control of blood pressure. Avoid amlodipine, you may take diuretic as losartan or telmisartan. Raise the head end of the bed by atleast 15 cm.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Varinder Joshi , General & Family Physician
