Since 2 stomach surgeries in November I feel that I'm on one. Long story short, I wound up in the hospital with low blood pressure, some heart issues and severe water retention, causing terrible swelling in my ankles and legs.

I am diagnosed with chronic heart failure. was tested for AFib put they ruled that out. Have been on Eliquis. Also following a low sodium diet and told to drink no more than 64 oz a day.

Then blood work showed iron deficiency anemia. Because of the surgeries, doc has ordered an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy to determine if the is any bleeding going on. I am on an iron supplement. That is happening next week.

Wow. I am going in circles here.. Please keep your fingers crossed ♥️
