[|AI|]  Hello, All the medication you have mentioned for the heart does not cause increase in weight. The benefits of Candace to protect your heart and kidney is far more and should be continued. Moral for your diabetes may cause increase in appetite and henceforth weight gain. However, I would stress again, do not stop the medications, if there is any swelling in the lower limbs than you may consult your doctor, consider ruling out thyroid, if everything normal a dietician consult may help.
