Swollen Ankles And Feet

Updated

Hi, I had a heart attack 6 months ago. A stent was fitted, and I was prescribed ramipril 5mg at night, Bisoprolol 2.5mgs daily, Aspirin, Ticagrelor 90mg twice daily, Lansoprazole 15mg daily... as well as all the usual side effects i.e dizziness, cough, muscle pain, I also have swollen ankles, feet, lower legs, which I'm told is not fluid... Has anyone else had this?

I was prescribed Ticagrelor (Brilinta) after stent placement and after 3 months had to switch to Plavix due to massive bruseing and shortness of breath when taking it. Also had the swelling , still do. Wearing compression socks does decrease the swelling if you wear them 2-3 days in a row. Good luck to you!

Edema, which is the name for the swelling you're experiencing, can be a side effect of most medications that are used to help lower blood pressure, and treat cardiac condition. Thus, your issue might be due to the Ramipril, Bisoprolol, or a combination of both.

The FDA lists its other side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and low blood pressure.

Ref: Ramipril and Bisoprolol Information.

It could be that you need to try different medications.

Do you also keep your diet low in salt?
