Q: My feet swells a lot after I eat, and my body stays bloated. I get little headaches off and on. Could these be signs?

A: High blood pressure has almost NO signs — it is a “silent killer”. MANY people don’t know they have high blood pressure UNTIL they drop over from stroke or heart attack. the only way to KNOW you have high blood pressure is to have the doctor measure it with that little cuff-on-the-arm thing.Diabetes has many signs, but it shares ALL of them with other diseases. Diabetics often suffer from tingling in the hands and feet — but so does someone with a “slipped disk”. Many diabetics suffer from being thirsty all the time — but it IS summer, and the weather IS hot and dry – – -. Many diabetics pee a lot — but if you drink a lot, you pee a lot.the ONLY way to know if you are diabetic of not is by taking blood tests from the doctor.Swelling of the hands and feet are NOT caused by diabetes, but they are caused by kidney disease (which IS caused by diabetes) or Congestive heart failure (which IS caused by diabetes).Hmmmm . . . only a doctor can tell if you are diabetic or not.

A: sounds like low blood pressure. I don’t have kids, but I’ve been suffering from low BP for a long time.Make sure to stay well-hydrated and when you get out of bed or stand up from sitting hold on to something. Even if you don’t have low BP, drinking water can’t hurt.The thirst is a major red flag and not a sign of either low of high BP, especially if you do drink enough water. See your doctor and get checked for diabetes. If you’re not drinking enough water, it could be just normal thirst. However, diabetes is a serious condition, and you don’t want to go undiagnosed.
