He is on 2 tablets of Furosemide per day. But is struggling to get shoes that fit. Pavers/Sketchers are only just OK.
His Blood Pressure is not very high. Seems in fair general health. He walks a little.

Any suggestions or ideas about other tablets or other shoes, I would be grateful.

Hotter shoes were great for my Granny when her feet started getting boggy….not sure about the men’s options but maybe worth a look. How/if it can be improved will depend on what’s causing it & there’s lots and lots of possible causes.

"2 tablets of Furosemide per day" but crucially what mg per tablet? Any other medications?

Slippers with proper soles and velcro closing. Have a look on Amazon for velcro slippers.

In terms of whether medication may help, that depends on his diagnosis causing his oedema.

Answer varies from yes there is loads of things that can help, to none at all.
