Could Losartan Cause Swollen Ankles?
i have had a tendency towards swollen ankles for over 30 years since i had dvt. lately the swelling has gotten worse- i take loasrtan for high blood pressure( have been taking it for secveral years) couldthat be making the situation worse? i am overweight, do not excercise regularly, sit at a computer at work all day and i live in a very warm climate. i realize that all of these factors can contribute to the problem but am wondering if i should be on a different HP medicine that does not add to the swelling
