What causes swelling in the ankle for a person who is under medication for BP?
Patient: I have been under medication for BP for more than 5 years. Recently I have changed the table from ATEN -25 to Amlodac -5. I take ecospirin av 75 at night. I have swelling in the right ankle after a day s work. I teach English at an engineering college. Doctor: Hello,  It is due to long-standing hypertension.  Consult a physician and switch to drugs like losartan.  If the swelling persists additional drugs like Lasix might be required.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain,  General & Family Physician
