      Thanks for subscribing! Lisinopril doesn't usually cause leg edema and I'm glad you're seeing your doctor this week. Please enjoy the channel!

    My doctor told me my edema was caused by my BP med Amlodipine. I’m also on diltiazem and Lorsartan. I deleveloped pitting edema up to my thighs with warmth and swelling in my knees. They told me to stop the Amlodipine and start Lasix 20 mg once a day. I have been having SOB and chest pain for a long time. I’m scheduled for a echocardiogram. I’m worried about having heart failure or a blockage. I’m a 66 year old woman. I’m still hoping it’s just the meds but I don’t think the meds would cause that severe of edema. I can hardly walk and can’t do much because I’m so short of breath. I really wish my doctor had listened to me earlier.

    I am James Osborn a 69 year old man, who was diagnosed with Edema although I have heard people speak of it. I never imagined that at this age it would be involved in my case. I met Dr Iyhere online on youtube, through the help of my son. After I took his drugs I have been relieved.
