Swelling feet ,ankles

[Alice70]

Hi all ,has anyone found while using Trimbow ,or the likes ect ,have side effects of swollen feet and ankles

[Bkin]

No idea if there is a connection with your med and the swelling, perhaps check the information leaflet that comes with your inhaler. Also check in with your doctor if this is becoming a real concern.

~Sometimes swelling is relative to the illness:

COPD: copd.net/symptoms/swelling/....

Bronchiectasis

NHS : nhs.uk/conditions/oedema/

Some blood pressure medicine can also cause ankle, feet and leg swelling. Do discuss withe your GP if this is a new occurrence.

Yes I will have to see gp ,i fid have scan on heart last year ,told it was ok ,they looked at part of heart that can make feet swell

Hi I have been on Trimbow for several months and have not had this problem. I agree with what Bkin says about checking with your GP.

My gp did tell me some time ago that steriods can make you feet swell ,he ment prednisalone, I've been on inhailers with Beclometasone for about six years ,fosyair before trimbow ,I think Beclometasone is a steriod a small dose. I was just wondering if I have a build up of steriod in my system

Speak to your GP about this. I doubt that the Trimbow is the cause.

Yes I will cdpo16 thank you

I have swollen ankles and legs below the knee bruise easily gp put me on furisomide which help reduce the swelling but the heat now dosent help. ( when on tablets you will need loo more often to begin with) I tend if having to pop out take tablet when I got back eventually it dies settle down. Have a chat with your doctor who will check pulse etc and check legs. . Take carex

[Alice70 in reply to Spacecat1]

Thanks space cat need to get some more and a higher dose of fruisomide

[Spacecat1]

Much as we love the lovely sunny weather can play havoc on our legs and breathing. Hope all goes well with respertory nurse

Did u find out if trimbow was responsible for your swollen ankles as I'm on trimbow and same thing happening im not on blood pressure meds

[Alice70 in reply to Itsmeagain1]

Hi img ,no i didnt find out for sure ,I did ask chest consultant she wasn't sure ,my gp once told me prednisone can make feet swell ,my theory is if prednisone steroids can ,that maybe a build of of the steroids in inhailers can ,I also wonder if trmbow gives me night sweats

[Itsmeagain1 in reply to Alice70]

[Alice70 in reply to Itsmeagain1]

Yes I've been on inhailers for about ten years ,when I told my consultant over phone appointment that trimbow isn't doing much for me now ,she said it was the best,makes me wonder what is the next treatment for us if any ,you look after yourself too
