Avatar m tn The brown discoloration is caused by the swelling. I looked it up and swelling of the ankle area was the most prevalent side effect for amlodipine. Thirteen percent of users experienced swelling. I got off amlodipine 2 months ago and have not had an episode of swelling since. It may take years for the brown to totally fade.
Avatar f tn readings is very good, 110/70. But eversince I started the Norvasc, my left leg is swelling and it is becoming worst. I'd like to ask my Doctor to discontinue the Norvasc. Is there any other calcium blocker that doesn't cause swelling? I've already taken Zestril (ace inhibitor) with the Diovan before. Can you please tell me what other good medications to be taken with the Diovan. I appreciate your help.

Avatar f tn My feet and ankles swell up every couple of days to a week. My sugar is good, blood pressure is great, I'm not pregnant. I also am not sitting or standing for long periods of time. The only sodium in my diet is from canned veggies and fruit. To lower the sodium from this source, I drain and rinse the veggies. Waiting on my blood tests for hormone levels, vitamin levels and other stuff. I also do not drink diet sodas, or use artificial sweeteners.
Avatar m tn You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden, unexplained weight gain; swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet; chest pain; or difficulty breathing during treatment with these medications. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs.
Avatar n tn However, it has been so mild I hardly notice it anymore. I began taking Lotrel in early March. In May I noticed my feet starting to tingle again. Gradually it has gotten severe and it is also burning. As a test I went off Lotrel for two days and the tingling and burning disappeared. When I went back on it, it flared up again. Have you ever heard of ace inhibitors aggravating peripheral neuropathy?

Avatar m tn Also sometimes the feet get hyper sensitive with the surface skin nerves, feet can go red sometimes, and if I brush my hand over my feet it is like a mild electric shock, also feel the same effect when putting on socks. My solution has been to take only one tablet every other day, by missing out a day, and that has helped minimise these weird uncomfortable side effects. Can you tell me what is going on with my feet. Any recommendations. Thanks.

Avatar f tn I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and noticed my feet are already swelling!!! Ughh anyone have any tips for dealing with this?
Avatar f tn I've got bad swelling. As long as you put your feet up high and you drink lots of water you should be fine. If you get a headache that won't respond to Tylenol or feel like your blood pressure is high then I'd go in.
