Hello. With symptoms of swelling from his legs to his face, high blood pressure causing headaches and difficulty breathing, he had to take his father to a health check to determine the cause of the edema. Usually elderly people with hypertension, edema due to heart failure, kidney failure, peripheral vascular disease due to embolism... Only then can the best treatment be given.
You can take your father to a reputable medical facility or one of the hospitals under the Vinmec Health System nationwide.
