Would My Blood Presure Meds Cause Ankle Swelling?
No. The opposite occurs. That is, high blood pressure would cause edema. Some blood pressure medicines, such as lasix (Diazide) will actually remove unnecessary edema or swelling in the ankles. You may be dehydrated. Drink plenty of water and see if that gets rid of the swelling. Also, elevate your legs above heart level for a few hours. Wear tight stockings to squeeze out the edema (but not tight enough to cut off circulation).
