Blood Pressure & Swelling (Hypertension & Edema)
Uncontrolled High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) places continuous strain on the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes, while swelling in the feet, legs, or face (Edema) can be an early warning sign of kidney, heart, liver, thyroid, or medication-related issues. At RRR Clinic, Mansarovar, Dr. Basant Sharma provides thorough diagnostic evaluation and precision management for both hypertension and body swelling.
Symptoms & Causes of BP & Body Swelling
- Persistently elevated blood pressure (> 130/80 or 140/90 mmHg) causing morning headaches, dizziness, or heaviness
- Swelling in feet, ankles, or legs (pedal edema) or puffiness around the eyes and face
- Secondary hypertension linked to kidney disorders, thyroid disease, or sleep apnea
- Medication-induced ankle swelling (such as certain calcium channel blockers) or excess salt intake
- Underlying cardiac, renal (proteinuria/kidney disease), hepatic, or venous insufficiency

Dr. Basant Sharma investigates the exact cause of fluctuating blood pressure and fluid retention to prescribe kidney-safe and heart-protective treatment regimens.
Clinical Approach & Care Protocol:
