What Causes Swollen Neck And Weight Gain While Treating Hypertension And Acid Reflux?

I m female, 58 yrs old, 130 lbs, 5ft 3. I exercise 20-30 minutes about 3x per week. Medical issues: hypertension, acid reflux. Current meds: amlodipine 2.5mg daily, protonix 40mg daily, estrogel topical prn, muti-vitamin, and calcium supplement. My symptom is more of a physical appearance, changed occurred over about the last twelve months. My neck is getting fat and I have developed deep indented circles or rings with dark lines. I m not diabetic, and I have not had a significant weight gain. Is it just a sign of aging process? I also wonder if it could be thyroid issue?

Hello,

Weight gain can be part of hypercholesterolemia, hypothyroidism, side effects of long term anti hypertensive medicines or else. You need a systemic review of the parameters to look into the possible cause of the swollen neck with weight gain with your physician for best possible guidelines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
