Hi, and pleased to answer you. You have a set of symptoms that I think leads me to believe that you lack informations about your hypertension and asthma, if I think about the diet and the consultations that need to be periodic. For your asthma, you absolutely must treat it, because given that you have high blood pressure, if unfortunately, a severe asthma attack occur the repercussions will be severe on your health. So, first I invite you to see your pneumologist in order to manage correctly your asthma. As for your hypertension, you should check your cardiologist to see if you do not also have a thyroid or kidney problem, and of course to assess if it is not your antihypertensive drug that swells your feet of course to change it. Amlodipine (an antihypertensive drug) for example is known for these swelling effects. But the diet and hygiene of asthmatic and hypertension diseases are things you need to master well with the help of your consultant doctors. May this informations help you and best wishes.
