Hi there
yes some antihypertensive meds do cause swelling in your lower limbs, if its happening to often or if its persisting do consult your cardiologist for an opinion and get one echocardiography done to see for your cardiac function. rest cut down your salt intake and water intake to 1.5 to 2ltrs a day.
Good Luck
