Swollen Left Leg, Red. Swelling Started After Taking Pill For Hypothyroid. Taking BP Pill. Recommendations?

What is Vasculitis, I have red on my legs and my left ankle and leg are a bit swollen, my right leg is fine except it is red at the front of the lower part of the leg. I am on a blood pressure pill but don't have a water pill, would the water pill help the swelling in the left leg at ankle and the lower part? I just developed a Hypothyroid and had trouble with the medication and that is when my left leg started swelling. I had this red before on the lower part of my legs, but it is worse now.

hello,I have got your question.actually you have problem with hypertension and hypothyroid also.and you are on medication for both of these.there may be some side effects for antihypertensive medications which can cause swelling in legs.hypothyroid can also cause some nerve entrapment which can cause pain also.so at first you have to consult with your doctor for the problem.
there may be another issue for your pain and swelling.it may be a case of rheumatological problem like osteoarthritis etc.so don,t get panic and consult with your doctor.hope you will be fine.thank you.
