Has anyone noticed they began to get puffy 'sausage' legs and ankles since coming off of tricagrelor? I seen to be retaining fluid. Heart attack(scad) caused by Fibromuscular dysplasia . Trying to keep active but not easy when legs feel like trunks! Any ideas?

Hello :-)

I found when I came of it I was a little swollen round one ankle and foot but nothing like you seem to be going through and I would say you need to see your Doctor and let them take a look at them as no matter what experiences we have had everyone is different and to the degree you are describing they need to be checked out

Make that appointment and let us know how you get on :-) x

Yes the same happened to me in October. My stomach and legs started to swell almost overnight when it was stopped after 1 year. Gained 5lbs overnight basically. It still won’t come off even as I workout most days.
