With liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension, ankle swelling (oedema) is common due to fluid buildup. You should reduce salt intake, rest with legs elevated, and follow your doctor's advice to remove excess fluid. Avoid alcohol and medications that can harm the liver. Since swelling can sometimes worsen quickly, regular follow-up with your doctor is essential to monitor liver function and prevent complications.

High blood pressure itself usually does not directly cause weight gain. However, some blood pressure medicines (like certain beta-blockers) can contribute to slight weight gain, and lifestyle factors that raise blood pressure, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, or fluid retention, can also increase weight. Maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and following your doctor's treatment plan can help manage both blood pressure and weight.
