Question: My name is XXXX, I take farxiga 10mg, hydrychlorithiazde, allpurinol, ciproflaxen. I am having shortness of breath, tingling in my shoulders and back. Recently (4months) I started taking cider vinegar every day. My calves of my legs are very swollen and pinkish in color. Laying down decreases swelling for a short period. Mouth gets dry easily.
