[|Human|] I have recently been placed on blood pressure medication, about 4 months ago. Starting about a month ago my ankles and feet have been swelling by the end of the day, almost double. Sometimes they go down by morning and other times they don t. What could be going on?
[|AI|]  Is the antihypertensive medication a calcium channel blocker like amlodipine? Calcium channel blockers have a side effect of causing pedal edema. If you're using it please consult your physician and consultant will stop the Chat Doctor.  Caution to be kept in mind as it is not the only cause of swelling it could be due to hypertensive nephropathy or other diseases affecting kidneys which has to be evaluated.
