Walking ability degraded
My mother is on high blood pressure medication for last 20+ years (Metosartan 25 daily). From 6-8 Months her walking ability has been degraded drastically. Before that she was able to go to market, temple and religious tours on her own without any support. However in last 6+ months she fell down several times while walking and now she walks very slowly taking support of wall as she don't take a walking stick. She complains about pain in her feet. Can this be reversed. Pls advise!
