Hi there.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

A weakly pumping heart can cause swelling, liver disorders, kidney disorders of even standing or walking for long hours.

Since you have has a sent inserted, it us best to get checked up by your Cardiologist to find out if your heart is getting good enough blood supply and any chance of heart disease.

Eat healthy. Drink enough water.
