I smoke a pack a day, have a lot of stress and I weigh 135lbs.I take 20mg of atarax a day for anxiety and have occassional heart papatations. Up until now I've been in fairly good health.

Sounds like you could use a diuretic, possibly a blood pressure pill. You need to see a physician..

First, Atarax is for itching, not anxiety. I must assume you mean Ativan. It sounds as though you may have Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). You lungs may fill with fluid as well, making it difficult to breath. A blood Pressure with a built in diuretic is a common RX for this situation. Also QUIT SMOKING!!!

Yep, sounds like a good diuretic is in order for you. Hypertension (high blood pressure) and pitting pedal edema (foot and ankle swelling) are potentially dangerous. See your doctor.... Soon.

Pain reliever NSAID' It seems that belongs to section; s, as for those you sound best for this description. lasix and is good as blind attemtp, the low albumen fairl which is brought normally. Until the edema is removed there, when your finger of someone's skin which has the edema of the dent which causes the depression which remains in such wind is pushed, tear off the skin. If someone has, exactly the edema.

High blood pressure is caused by too much fatty food and sweets. Always consider eating the right food to avoid certain health problems.

Avoiding high blood pressure is the best thing to do:
Lose extra pounds and watch your waistline
Exercise regularly
Eat a healthy diet
Reduce sodium in your diet
Limit the amount of alcohol you drink
Avoid tobacco products and secondhand smoke
Cut back on caffeine
Reduce your stress
Monitor your blood pressure at home and make regular doctor's appointments
Get support from family and friends

Edema, is swelling caused by fluid retention- excess fluid is trapped in the body's tissues....edema commonly occurs in the hands, arms, ankles, legs and feet. It is usually linked to the venous or lymphatic systems..
