My mom right now 60 years old has been taking beta blocker, calcium blocker, ecosprin 75 (aspirin) for mild mitral n aortic regurgitation since 4 years. 2 years back she had amputated her right leg due to rta. Since then she has been taking mirnite 35 and zolcam .what the real issue I want to consult is since some months ago when covid first started my mom has been having pitting edema on her left foot like consecutive days and the opd or any hospitals are not welcoming any case issue because of cavity right now. Is the cause of edema anything to worry about?

Many conditions can cause pedal edema like cardiac problems, renal problems as well as liver problems. Even hypothyroidism and venous problems in the leg can cause it. You have to get a renal function test, liver function test, 2d echo, tft to know the exact cause.
