Blood Pressure Medication Struggle

[Sweettee333]

Recently Dx with stage 3 CKD. Kidney doctor put me on 3 types of BP medications and Lasix. My feet/legs/ankles have been swelling and the Lasix doesn't seem to be working. I'm a little worried/concerned.....has anyone else experienced swelling side effects due to the BP medication? And if so, do you have any suggestions?

If one of them is Amlodipine, then yes, this is a very common side effect. I had to stop taking it after only 2 weeks because the swelling got so bad.

Amlodipine is notorious for causing swelling, it did the same to me and I quit taking it after a couple of weeks also.

Try elevating your feet about 6 - 8 inches at night when you sleep and see if that helps.
