swollen legs
im taking 3 heart medications and have been for years im developing swollen legs and ankles is this a new side effect to my pills--- atenolol-- verapamil- simvastatin-- im 60 years old and very active
My doctor told me that verapamil can cause the water retention/swelling. I am being removed from that medicaton.
Leg swelling can be a sign of the heart not functioning correctly. However, it can be caused by other issues. I would have a chat with your Doctor to have some tests.
