Swelling of leg
My mom was diagnosed with severe pulmonary artery hypertension with RV failure.she was treated with many medicine and got discharged on December 4 and doctor recommended for supplemental oxygen.after few days of discharge again she had started swelling of legs and getting up between sleep. And her sPO2 is 65-68 without oxygen and 77-85 is with oxygen. When I consulted the same doctor he is saying this is because of side affects of medicines.But IAM tensed a lot.what might be the cause.
