Common Questions and Answers about Norvasc and swelling of ankles
norvasc
What would cause sudden 
I take 5mg Norvasc with 100 mg of a beta blocker(Lopressor) and Isosorbide (Nitrate) and Tricor every morning without any problems. But I am confused as to why Norvasc and Cardizem. They are both calcium channel blockers. Maybe someone can enlighten me on that. Have you talked to your pharmacist about any concerns?
i have blood pressure 116 over 72 angiogram shows no problem with cholesterol 2.5 on test. i have been given norvasc and lipitol ?
My mother died of Congestive Heart Failure but I could tell most of the time when she was going into heart failure because her feet and ankles would swell and I would push the tissue on the foot and ankle and it would go in and not pop up it would remain indented where I pushed. I was told by the nurses that that was Edema(Ihope my spelling is correct) and I should rush her to the hospital so they could get the fluid off of her heart.
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. So the doc was right. 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.
I would like to say something: I have all of the classic symptoms of CHF, swollen ankles and feet to the point, I can't wear my shoes at times, SOB, cough etc. I have been checked out by a good cardiologist who did a complete work-up on me. I have a history of SVT (no longer treated) which could easily put me into CHF. I do NOT have CHF. So just because a patient has the symptoms of CHF, does not mean that they have the disease.
I had the swelling of the feet and ankles when I was Hypo on anti-thyroid meds (before I had RAI).
Sometimes the swelling was so bad, it flet like my ankles were going to split open.
I later found out I was Hypo and that I had fluid retention.
I found taking a celery capsule 3 times a day got rid of the fluid.
Yes I was on the toilet a lot but the swelling also subsided too.
Maybe you need an increase in Synthroid...your labs will show if you do when you go to the Endo.
I was just wondering because I haven't seen any posts about it...are any of you getting a lot of swelling in your feet/ankles? Mine are awful! I'm a teacher and do stand most of the day but I was wondering if anyone else was having issues.
Mine were extremely swollen on monday.
Yeah ive been swelling super bad in the feet and ankles and for a while and all i hear is its normal. I swell like so crazy. Then i found out i had protein in my urine apparently for 3 weeks. Both are signs of preeclampsia but without the blood pressure, the feet swelling is normal. Last week my blood pressure was high with all those symptoms so they finally got worried and sent me for bloodwork. That came back normal so with all the symptoms, they still say i am good. Im almost 39 weeks.
s basically fluid build-up in body tissue, oftentimes in the ankles and legs. My husband has cirrhosis, and his doc checks his ankles and legs every visit to check for swelling.
It's important that your doc be made aware of this development -- if you have not seen your doc in the lasts 2 months while this has been going on, I would recommend that you let his office know and not wait until the visit to discuss this development -- he is a hepatologist, right? If not, you need to get one!
