So what pills do you take? Some like Amlodipine (a CCI - Calcium Channel Inhibitor) are well known for causing oedema in some patients.

Dear clarencehenrh140

Hello to you and welcome to the walking rattling group ! I know what 10 tablets a day is like { I can up you by a few }

I also suffer with oedema, which MichaelJH has righty said is the name for this worrying ailment.

There are a few of the heart medications that can cause this.

You need to get onto your Dr / heart team and get this tested, I’m afraid that it’s possible that they may add to your pill load to treat it.

I take standard water tablets, which work, but still some days my ankle will swell big enough that makes wearing shoes impossible, so I wear trainers.

Take care and I hope you get it sorted soon.
