Swollen feet.

[highdaysandholudays]

52, on amlodopine for about a year. It controls my blood pressure really well but since being on it have puffy feet. They can get painful. I'm overweight and I know this doesn't help either so trying to remedy things but really do want to sort out feet. Worried about skin integrity and getting ulcers. Any advice appreciated.

Speak to the GP, they will be able to swap you to an alternative medication that may not have that effect on you.

I'll ring them Monday. I have been on ramapril before and this gave a dry cough which is why I was put on amlodopine. I've just lay on my back with feet in air for a while. It helps but goes back.
