Taking Dilitazem, Losartan And Aspirin. Tingling And Pain In The Legs. Medication Side Effect?

I am taking diltiazem Hr Er 240 Mg cap and Losartan - potassium 50 mg tab together. I have a cramping and tingling in my legs and my skin and hair are drying and wrinkling and i sometimes have pain in my legs and tingling. I also take a multivitamin and baby aspirin. Could these symptoms be a side effect of any of my medications. If so, any suggestion on what to do. This combination has my blood pressure at 124/ 72.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Diltizem,
losartan,
aspirin,
multivitmine,

These are drugs , which you are taking.
Dry skin with drying hair.
Please note down side effects of diltiazem,
Rash,
leg and ankle edema,
tiredness,
nausea,
DRY MOUTH,
DRY SKIN,
headache,
gingival hyperplasia.
So in your case Diltiazem 240 mg E R is responsible for these symptoms.
2nd cause may be occlusion of arterial blood supply to legs ( cramping and tingling in legs).
So consult your doctor and explain whole situation , he may change the medicines.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
