Suggest Treatment For Severe Heartburn And Swollen Foot While Having High Blood Pressure
I have gained a considerable amount of weight. I m on high blood pressure medicine. After a trip to Colorado, I over exerted myself and was out of breath the whole time during my visit. After 4 days in the altitude, after my flight home, my heartburn is bad, and my feet are swollen. I had heart exams and check ups done less than a year ago, and all looked well. Can heart disease show up so soon?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
I suggest using antacids for the heartburn such as Maalox three times a day.
I also recommend to maintain the feets elevated to relieve the swelling.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to do a heart checkup for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contappct me again.
Kind regards!
