Swollen Ankle, Petechia On Lower Legs, Spreading. Taking Calcium Channel Blocker. Suggestions?
My left ankle is swolen and I have severe petechia on both lower legs which seems to be spreading each day. I was taking a calcium channel blocker for valvular regurgitation but when the swelling got worse I stopped my medication. That was five days ago. I do experience occasional swelling as a side effect from my medication but it usually comes and goes. My foot feels like it is going numb, no color change yet but it's very painful, any suggestions would be appreciated.
