Hello Dr. My mother is 72Y. She is having overweight approx 80-85kg height 5ft. She is having all the common issues like High BP, Sugar bit higher and Thyroid. She is talking medicines regularly. But usually travels in hired cabs or auto, but not walking much, but whenever she travels after 2-3 days her legs gets swollen from toes, ankles up to calf and shin.(I don't know the exact word) but it looks like edema or oedma. If we press it it has small pit look like. She is consulting doctors also and following prescription too. Can you suggest me what is the issue is it bone or vein ? Or to whom shall I consult? Which type of specialist? Somebody advises go for Ayurvedic therapy, typical Kerala massage. Or what can you suggest?

Ans: Hello Sir, Thank you for your query. I would recommend you to consult a Physiotherapist for your mother. That will actually help and also help in strengthening her knee joint considering as age advances there is muscle loss . She will be guided for some 10-15 sessions depending on her condition and later she can do home based exercise program. I wish her quick recovery

I am in vit chennai.so i am going to my second year.recently i got a chance to change from fashion technology to mechatronics and autoomation.i plan on changing because i am not that interested in fashion tech and i am quite interested in mechatronics.but i am not sure if this decison will be right or wrong.what should i do?

Ans: If you are genuinely interested in robotics/systems, **switch to Mechatronics & Automation**. Staying in Fashion Tech with low interest will hurt long-term growth and placements. Switch only after confirming the curriculum, workload, and placement outcomes before the final decision. (You have to cover the 1st-year extra syllabus as well.) Many students do this kind of exercise in the 2nd year. You can also be one of them. No harm in shifting from one branch to another while keeping your interest in learning alive.

Good luck.
