Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Swelling And Tingling Sensation On The Feet?
I have recently been prescribed Amlodipine 5 mg, along with 100mg Losartan, once a day. I was taking Diovan 80mg twice a day, which seemed to stop working. I was away from my primary Dr. when the change occurred. I seem to be adjusting okay to these new meds, but my feet feel swollen & tingle on the bottom. I have read that this could be a side affect of Amlodipine. I wouldn t stop taking this, but what does it do that Losartan can t do. I m 71, 5 5 , in very good health. These are the only meds I take. Thank you.
If your feet have become swollen then you may have high blood pressure and it may be due to side effects of Amlodipine. So, you have to decrease your salt intake and reduce weight.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
