I'm experiencing something a bit oddmy feet swell up every evening but then go back to normal by the morning, and there's no pain with it. I usually go for walks both in the morning and evening. A while back, my right knee was swollen and painful, and I massaged it with sarson oil, which helped the knee, but now my feet are having this issue. I did the RA factor test, and it came back negative. My cholesterol is at 215.11 mgdl, but otherwise, my reports were normal. I'm just wondering what could be causing this swelling in my feetany insights?

Consider consulting a md physician to rule out underlying conditions, and in the meantime, try elevating your legs above the level of your heart while sitting, reducing salt intake, staying hydrated, and wearing compression socks to alleviate evening foot swelling, which may be related to your evening walks, improved knee condition, or elevated cholesterol.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her ESR level is at 70 and her blood pressure is 180. Can you guide us on how to lower her ESR? Which type of doctor should we consult for this issue?
It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any medication regimen. For her high blood pressure of 180, she should consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, she can take antihypertensive medication like Amlodipine. It is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly and follow up with the appropriate specialists for further management.
