What Causes Swelling In Feet After Switching Blood Pressure Medicine?

My doctor just switched my blood pressure medicine and now my feet are RED (with spots) and swollen. The other medicine was making them swell. Should I call her or just keep trying this medicine for a day or two. i have been on it for only two days.

Hi,

If they itch, it may be an allergy.
If you notice that redness and swelling is becoming worse rapidly, then stop the medication and call your doctor. If they are tolerable, you can wait two more days.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
