She has a heart attack about more than one and half years back. Since then she is having lipkind cv 10/75, cardace 1.25, angiplat 2.5, metolar xr 12.5, razo 20 empty stomach, uprise d3 60000 once a week and orofer xt daily.
There is no pain but pain is there when pressed she has a cbc test done just last week.
No problem except haemoglobin 8.8, blood sugar fasting 83 and platelet count 419. She is having apparently no problem. No coughing, no shortness of breath, no vomiting, no nausea. Ya she has piles problem for last one year and has blood few days back in piles but last few days problem of constipation has vanished.
Is it problematic. Cardiologist was shown last week before swelling. Thoroughly checked her no problem seen in her. Medicine continued.
Please please guide me. Is this swelling and 419 platelet due to piles. Photo of ankle enclosed.

Donot hang the legs down. Use pillows under legs while sleeping. May need diuretics to relieve the Edema . Reduce salt too. Nothing to worry
