Asked for male, 87 years old from Gurgaon

I am 87 years old. I am mentally quite active and physically too fine. I get oedema in my feet (upper area) now and then. This has happened even earlier years but I would like to know what I can do to prevent this oedema. On the advice of nephrologist etc I am taking flotral 10 for the same. I am also a hypertensive patient and take embetta xr 25 mg in the morning and embetta 50 mg at night along with ecopspirinav 150 as advised by the doctor. Since oedema may be related to kidney I have got the kft and simple urine analysis done. While urine analysis is fine, there is slight increase in urea and creatinine. Suggest some remedy.

Elevated creatinine suggests renal involvement, visit a nephrologist. Also need to stop embeta as it is not suited in kidney disease. Also visit a cardiologist with echo and other relevant reports.

My mother 65 years of age is suffering from ild (idiopathic pulmonary fibroses) from last 4 years. She has been taking allopathic medication from last 4 years for this issue. Her breathing issue is increasing day by day. Now she is using oxygen concentrator for about 20 hours a day. Latest test reports shows her lungs are now on 20-25% working condition. She got shortness of breath even if she walk for 10 to 15 steps only. She can't do any physical activity due to this breathing issue. Kindly do let me know if this issue can be treated and her health can be improved as everyone says that it can't be cured or reversed. They said the damage of lungs can only be slow down and they can improve quality of life till end state.

I have an aortic bicuspid valve and am newly prescribed Adderall. Is this a serious or not?

Aortic bicuspid is fairly common in normal people. You may need regular followup, but usually its asymptomatic. Why were you prescribed adderall? Did your doctor know about your conditions? If your doctor knew, its fairly safe.
