I'm dealing with ascites because of right heart failure, and this all started with rheumatoid arthritis. Now they're saying I have pulmonary artery hypertension. The fluid retention is becoming a huge issue for me. Can you explain how these conditions might be connected and what I might do to manage the fluid retention better?

I've been dealing with gout and high uric acid for about six months now. I've been taking LOGOUTSR 250mg three times a day after meals. There's been a shortage of this medication, so I'm a bit concerned and wondering if you could suggest an alternative for me. Any advice on what I can do would really help.

I'm really worried about my dad. His hands and feet swell up if he's sitting for too long, and it doesn't seem like they return to normal the way they used to. We're considering looking into ESR levels but could really use some advice on that. Also, are there specific foods he could eat that might help to get his ESR back to normal?

green leafy vegetables, fatty fish, berries, almonds, walnuts,these all will reduce ESR
