What Causes Fatigue, Swollen Ankles And Bloating While On Prestique?

In the past couple of months I have increased fatigue, my ankles have started to swell and I feel bloated. I have gained some weight, but I have not changed my eating habits. I take medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and restless leg syndrome. I started taking Prestique for anxiety, even though I know it is primarily an antidepressant. The fatigue, swelling and bloated feelings have me really concerned.

Hello,

The given symptoms (Fatigue, bloating, and pain conditions) could be due to fibromyalgia.

Hypertension is a different from that and it needs to be managed separately it does not cause the fatigue, bloating or other symptoms but severe hypertension may cause the headache.

Anxiety may create some effects on all the symptoms, first thing you need to do is to come out of the stress and anxiety.

If I would be doctor of this case, then I would try to treat this case with Amitriptyline drug once in day, it is not matter of concern if you keep your anxiety level at zero.

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

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
