Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My mother is 58 years old, and for the past few months, she has been experiencing some troubling symptoms. She has been complaining of moderate to severe joint pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion in her joints. It has been affecting her daily life significantly. I am really concerned about her and want to find ways to help alleviate her pain and improve her quality of life. Can you provide some guidance on managing these symptoms at this stage and suggest ways I can support her through this?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern.
Hypertension can be due to several causes, the most common being essential hypertension, of which the exact cause is not known. A sedentary lifestyle, obesity, high salt or sodium intake, and substance use can all cause high blood pressure. Anxiety and panic disorder can also cause a rise in blood pressure. Investigations to be done include TFT (thyroid function test), lipid profile, LFT (liver function test), serum electrolytes, and RFT (renal function test). Relax. It will not kill you if you keep it controlled. Yes, exercise is safe and, in fact, beneficial. Remember, every problem has a solution. You just need to try solving it, and help is just a step away.
Feel free to ask if you have any further queries.
Kind regards.
