Hi,

Swelling in the foot might have many causes, such as any medication you are taking for any other diseases. Tamsulosin is not reported to cause swelling, as a side effect. Atorvastatine might cause ankle swelling rarely.

I suggest you to try improving fat level by reducing fat in your diet, avoid fried food. If you had swelling before starting these treatments, you should have a urine analysis done, and renal function tests uremia/Creatinin blood level, to diagnose any urinary infection, and treat it with antibiotic.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suela Gjata,
