ankles swelling ?

[EFT56]

I have a Qustion please :
Verapamil - ccb  -  doc put me on this 5 months ago - along with maxzide dieretic med . he told me about ankles
swelling - as a side effect - then I read it online to confirm it .  well normaly on this med and dose im fine , other than a few issues (side effects iv got )  cant say I like it much !  however today for some odd reason took the meds - felt ok
both my ankles swelled up - lucky I was off work -  so soaked them twice and lifted them up.. they went down normal
but soon swelled again as I sat and worked on my computer.. legs downwords..

I called cant see the doctor untill next friday- I got zero advice to stop the swelling..  
Im thinking of cutting back on the verapamil by 1/2 dose .. and silghtly cutt the dieretic just a bit ..  
see what happens..   Im hopeing this will stop the swelling with a lesser dose of verapamil  ccb.  

any cures out there ? or feedback to maybe help me out ??  thanks to all that ansure this ..

Hi Booger,
In less than 4 hours, beet juice can lower your pressure by 10 points. British scientists said after they gave men 16 oz. of the beverage and then checked their BP
Dietary nitrate, a compound in beetroot, is converted to nitric oxide in your body,
which opens blood vessels,says a study, try R.W. Knudsen very veggie low - sodium juice

Is there a natural med that has all these in it ? or do I have to buy them all 1 by 1
and how much to take..?  hmmmm

did you ever hear of beat juice -  I got it and tryed it - tastes like dirt, dont know if it worked .  oh yeah the circulin didnt work after 2nd day b.p went high ! spiked.
so had to go back on the **** again .. takeing less and less.. seeing Doctor friday
hope to get another wacky drug to take !  

no more ccb's  !

I have to laugh , as seems no one knows about verapamil or ccb's .. and side effects
or problems with b.p meds !    
or they see this post and run the other way !  loling -     no matter it turned out it was the dieretic doing the harm.  as I had a allergic reaction to it .. so it didnt work proper.
it caused the verapamill to leave me with a known side effect of swollen ankles..
oh these side effects !   so best thing is get off both the meds - and let my poor acheing
body return to normal .. though im still drinking water like mad.  as to flush the sytem out
of chemicals in me..  Im now taking a natural med for h.b.p. Circulin .. you can take up to
12 pills per day on this.. without harm .. so far iv taken 2  and b.p is normal .. pulse is normal too.. lucky me..  

it would be magic if this stuff works !   as most natural meds dont work well at all.

just hit me funny, seeing no posts or  replys back on this subject..

Figures dont it !
