I saw my mother suffer from debilitating edema which in turn exacerbated her other conditions. I have no doubt she was trapped in a vicious cycle due in part to the cocktail of medications she was prescribed which most likely caused her edema. If only she were still here to get this information.
My heart goes out to you. I understand the feeling and situation due to situations with my own mom. She’s been on so many drugs for so many years now, it’s hard to determine anything with clarity.
Same here, my poor mother went through so much swelling and infections with the drugs she was taking for her rheumatoid arthritis over 3 decades, the medication helped her but also caused damage to other organs. They should have given her a liver transplant as methotrexate damaged her liver.
@@skittles2055 please,please give your mother maguinesium, B1 in the form of Benfonthiamine, 300mg 3 times a day plus 50mg of thiamin daily.. also potassium...if you dont take care of it now it will develop heart failure and enlarged heart, enlarged liver...etc...eventually she could died from it. It happened to my mom, she was having difficult breathing from heart failure...was intubated in 10 different medications and nothing resolved and she passed away after 2 days in hospital. I did so much research and discovered that the treatment with very high dose of thiamine 1500mg plus high dose vitamin C intravenously would have reserved her condition. I told the doctor who was in charge of her care to try the treatment I read the clinical trials, he refused to listen to me...and said he was applying the hospital protocols....the hospital protocol failure kill he! Diabetic, alcoholic, and people who consume too much carbs are very deficient in thiamin,people with crohn's, IBS, celiac all very deficient in thiamine. Do your research, dont let the medication kill her

Thank you! I may be commenting on old videos. I am collecting info to print out for my mother to try to undo some of the damage she has done in her refusal to listen to me. Her doctors always tell her I am wrong and that she should listen to them. But she steady grows sicker and sicker. Her legs are so swollen they are oozing! Back and forth to doctors and hospitals constantly!
I'm on pregabalin (and NSAIDs) for intense nerve pain and after a short while I started having the lower leg swelling. I did not even think to associate this with the meds. Great video.
Does natural vitamins cause edema
I took 10mg Amlodipine for 10 years. I got tired of dealing with edema, and requested to be removed from the medication earlier this year. When I first got diagnosed with hypertension, I managed the edema with diet and exercise. As I got older, I found it to be more difficult to manage. It forced me to stay away from cured meats, and foods loaded with sodium. While I was grateful that the medication was helping me shift my dieting choices, the edema made it impossible to wear nice shoes. It's so nice to see the bones in my feet and hands now.
I've taken amlodipine for one week and stopped it due to edema.
I take that every day and lately my feet and legs are swelling
@LaNetra Carther are you cured from high blood pressure? Or are you taking a different medication?
@@wajutiem08 No, I am just taking a different medication. I will never be cured. High BP runs deep in my family, and all I can do as a genetic recipient is manage the condition.
@@olive3700 Good for you! I should have stopped sooner. But, when the meds are working, it's a tough choice to make. Stop the meds and risk my BP going sky high again, or continue the meds, and just deal with the side effects. I could no longer deal!
Dr. Berry, excellent information. So happy I found your channel. Thank you!
Thank u so much for listing the meds in the show notes. Your delivery was excellent& on point, greatly appreciated 💫
Tremendously helpful! Thank you so very very much
Dr. Berry thank you for this list.
Thanks very much Dr! Extremely informative video!
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for the information Doc.
Thank you for this INVALUABLE information!
Thanks Doc, for the information.
Thank you Doc.
Thanks Dr for this great information ❤❤
This was very helpful
Thanks Dr. Berry, I was recently prescribed Trazodone when I started having swelling in my right leg . Will try a different prescription. Thanks again.
Thank you, Dr Berry 😊
Thank you for this great information.
Thank you for the information God Bless.
Thank you Doc, excellent information. God bless.
Thank you Dr Berry for sharing this information with us. GOD bless you.
Thank you for helping us. You are so appreciated!!!!! Bless you doctor 🌴🌿🌷🐊🌼🍄🦀🐸
Thank you for the info.
Merci Docteur ? Heureusement, des médecins honnêtes ça existe ! Je n’aurai donc pas survécu pour rien à mes douleurs. Le bien que vous me faites vous sera rendu en mille.
Thank you Dr. Berry for all the wonderful work you do. Great job!!!😊😊
Thanks always informative
Thank you for a very informative video.
Oh my, I was on Trazadone for years and suddenly I have Cellulitis, Lymphedema Phase 2 and Venous Stasis. I have had nurses here daily for six weeks cleaning and gauzing my ulcers on both legs, then when they stopped leaking out fluids, they did an ultrasound pulse/nerve testing on both of my legs and now the wrapping happens every four days to keep my circulation going and swelling down. This all makes sense to me now. I had many Doctors tell me I had this cause of me drinking too much filtered water- any sort of water(160 ozs. daily). Thanks for all your info, your great to listen to cause you explain things very clearly without the big medical words haha.
I've seen that Trazadone in use Yuck! Mine went in the bin.
Was it the medicine or the water, confused
A excellent video of 11 different medications that could cause swelling in your feet ankles or legs a lot of diabetics usually gets swelling if they take too much insulin a whole trick is to eat less carbs healthy foods that don't raise your blood sugar and yet some diabetics have perfect sugar levels like for instance $130 even as low as 65 if the in the meal and they still get swelling in their legs and ankles compression socks help too they're very uncomfortable after a while and sometimes they make your feet swell up even more so the whole trick is you actually have to be your own doctor and experiment and do things just eat healthy vitamin b1 is known to get the swelling out of your legs and feet so try that also I give this video five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯👍❤️
Thank You So Much For Verification
Thank you very much for sharing this valuable information.
My parents have lived along life ! Neither my mom or dad has never taken any medications the doctors wanted them to take! Mom is 82 ,dad 88 ! They don’t believe in doctor meds and have lived a full life! Go Figure!
Bless them
The third highest cause of death is “death by doctor”. My cardiologist won’t even talk to me anymore (a good thing) because I never take his advice. 😂 He has his nurse do the checkup which is good because she seems far smarter. All the cardiologists do is push statins and tell you to eat more (inflammatory) food. When will the medical “profession” get updated? 🤦♂️
That’s awesome!! Congratulations to them. 🙌
Wisdom!
Bcc
Im glad I watched the video I am a 32 yr old black female that has recently been prescribed this medication. I’ve only been taking it for 2 weeks and my legs feel like jello and hurt really bad my feet and thighs are swelling. 😭
Good info Doc
Thanks so much. I’m subscribed
TY Dr. Berry - so glad I stopped gabapentin! Most of the medications used for my condition (similar to MS & Parkinson's) causes unpleasant side affects that are an additional challenge ... I've found that adjusting diet, exercise & doing PT help way more!!
Me too
Hello Doc love you and you family! 💕
Thank you for great info ❤
OMG! I am telling my doctor to stop it. Thank you doctor!!!!
Thank you, Dr Berry. I think Tribenzor is my problem. Hope my Dr can find an alternative for me.
Omg my Lyrica experience was ABSOLUTELY horrible!! Smh, it was so awful and JUST the first evening dose and not just ankles swollen, my tongue and esophagus and it was really bad. I could not taste anything but NASTY metallic taste and it threw off my sense of smell.
Idk if they have anything on common, for ME Buspar (the next prescription and I could NOT WALK, AT ALL FOR HOURS & it inflamed my joints and I am SO grateful to be settled on gabapenten for seizures and I still get them whenever under duress - no longer several times a week not to mention the very crazy side effects of different antconvulsants and cluster migraine meds.
I can not seem to impress upon my doctors that MY baseline no(edited correct typo: blood pressure not'no') is supposed to be low enough normal ppl pass out. Normal IS HIGH for me and the low high and I feel like I'm going to actually drop from a stroke.
I really don't understand WHY they ask just to ignore my assertions and not even bothering to look at my history, just a click on that open page on screen.
Instead of blowing me off, and leaving me to feel like my brain is about to explode, every time the barometric pressure drops.
Wouldn't a little time in a hyperbaric chamber relieve that pressure?
Lllollllo ppok
Thanks very useful info
I have the swelling and I am on a few of the medications listed - I will be chatting to my GP ! thank you
I wish i had never started taking medicine when I was young. But we trusted our doctors and so much research has been done over the years and made available to the public. Now after taking certain medications all my adult life, I am aware of the dangers of stopping. Thank you
Good info Doc.
Thanks for this info
Thank you👋❤️💜💙👍
Thank you. I knew these blood pressure meds were causing the swelling. Doc said No. I m now breaking in half but need to do something different.
Great job! Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Thank you for this video. Could you discuss the relationship between inflammation & edema/lymphedema? Also could you do a video on lymphedema, not just related to cancer, but lymphedema without cancer. It took me years to get a correct diagnosis of lymphedema. It seems that doctors only look at lymphedema as occurring with cancer, specifically breast cancer. While I went undiagnosed my lymphedema went from stage 1 to stage 3. Now that I am diagnosed it is still very difficult to get the proper treatment. My insurance company covers compression garments, but that is all they cover & there is still a huge co-pay of about $800.
In th tropics Lymphadema mostly is due to filariasis
I pray you’re healed in Jesus Name!!! By Faith. No matter what, trust God and remember-In Heaven, we will be perfect new bodies!!!! No ailment’s!!!
@@officialJOY1229 amen I agree!
All healing comes from God.
I'm in several Facebook heart groups because I had heart valve surgery. People keep asking about if certain blood pressure medications make you gain weight. I was taking some of the ones they asked about. I've lost over 30 doing a low carb diet. I'm really thinking it probably their diet. Maybe you can do a video addressing weight gain and blood pressure medication.
Great video. Very interesting.
I, thank, you,sir, for, your, words, and, you, and,are, so, right, about, what, you, are, saying,
Excellent video. I'm on 4 of those meds and have so much swelling that I can't wear a normal shoe.
The less medications you take the better off you are. I used to take atenolol (caused my heart to beat very slow) my feet froze and I had to cut it back. I also took hydrochlorothiazide and ibuprofen. Both of those damaged my kidneys to stage 2 almost stage 3... but I’m careful now. I’m trying to baby my kidneys. I realized the damage only after I started taking Synthroid and my ankles swelled so bad they hurt. So I’ve slowly come off that medication and I’m taking NAC and milk thistle for liver.. Also babying my kidneys with renofood and dandelion plus potassium, lemon water and apple cider vinegar. I’m off synthroid and my temperature stays around 98.5 (yay) with absolutely zero cold feet and hands. My fingernails and hair are much better too.
How are you managing your thyroid issues?
my doctor changed my medication to NP thyroid which is both t4 and t3 and I'm much better
Thank you so much!!!
THANK YOU, VERY HELPFUL 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
Thank you doctor. God bless.
Amlodipine: I quit taking it and my doctor switched me to hydrochlorothiazide. My edema was getting worse and worst of all was the Peripheral Neuropathy. My feet hurt with the muscles constantly cramping especially at night. Diclofenac put me in the ER twice before I on my own concluded it was causing my respiratory distress and hives, especially in my lungs. The Peripheral Neuropathy led me to wonder what damage was being done to the nerves in my brain, spine, and heart. Thank you for the information as I believe it is saving my life.
Bless you. Ruddy Big Pharma at it again!
Did your edema go away with the diuretic?
@@wread1982 yes
This happened to me as well. I use dandelion tea as a diuretic.
And that rash.
Thank you Dr Ken D Berry let me know side effects from these medicines because I have been on LASIX on number 6 years now still continue with that ! ! !
You inspire me!
GOD Bless Your Dr. Berry. I've in so much pain due to in part of swelling in My leg, ankle and foot and toes. I cry most of the night due to this suffering. GOD led Me to You this Sunday Morning, and I am so Very Grateful. I'm taking at least four of the medications You spoke about. One being Insulin injections.
I Thank GOD for You.
Quit eating bread and carbs and lose the meds it's your diet try fasting, not everyone can do it..
It makes you wonder if they should be giving these medications that alleviate some symptoms but create unhealthy side affects
TY so much. I am a ED Triage Nurse and talk to patients about their meds, most have no idea how to take them or the side effects
Very informative for me sir 👌👌👌👌👌
Seems like every time I go for help with one thing to the doctor I end up with more problems then before I went there
I totally agree with you
You are so correct.
Reason #1 why I stay away from doctors
Wow! Thanks for the info.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this information, Doctor. I stopped my maintenance medication and shifted to LOSARTAN 50 and my edema appear again.
If I stop taking NSAIDs and heart meds how long before I know that's part of the problem, thx Doc.
My consultant has recently asked me to increase my Prednisolone dose from 4mg/day up to 15mg/day. I Am currently suffering very painful swollen feet, hands, joints. It does seem consistent with the increased dose.
God bless them..I definitely agree.
Thank you
Thank you! I recently started working out and the doctor prescribed me gabapentin for fibromyalgia and nerve pain caused by nerve root compression in my spine. I came here because I looked up swelling in legs and had no idea that it could cause this. I have been on gabapentin before and this never ever happened to me before. I literally gained 15 pounds this week and have been exercising a lot.
doctor give me gabapentin 900 mg 3x a day and .1 mg clonidine 2x a day. By day 6 my back and legs hurt so badly I felt like I have the flu. Pitting adema from zero to bed riddoned in 6 day. Just popped first diuretic and discontinued those 2 meds last night. I did not do good.
Thanks Doc for this information. They say I`m in heart failure, and my legs swell terribly, and is very painful. I thought it might of been the salt intake. Come to finnd out most of my meds, are the ones you mentioned. Thanks again.
So happy
Hope you are doing better now x
they say it was incurable and that it could only be managed. He would try his best. And I am grateful so much for trying your best sir.
Thanks a lot.
The use of any medication is always a risk versus benefit decision.
Hi, Dr. Berry. Do you think the edema is dangerous?
Thanks for sharing the most useful information. I was taking Amlodypine 5 mg in combination with Valsartan for nearly 4 years and suffered from ankle edema of variable severity. Recently it became severe with lot of discomfort. I have stopped Amlodipine and took Spiromide for 3 days. It gradually subsided. Thanks God i am feeling better with Valsartan only with bit increased dose.
Thank you Dr, so true what you say, we just got my husband off of Amlodipine , as his legs were so swollen, now they are pretty much down to normal !🤗
Hello and thank you for the important information, my father has a problem with pulmonary edema, and we can't find the cause, we think it may be from different medications he receives, do you know of any medications that may cause this phenomenon?
Can Pryzoline and or thyroid medication Euthrox cause water to build up in the lungs?
Where are the Show Notes please. I’m unable to find any lists of meds and have run out of buttons to click. Thank you. You are very helpful.
Bless u kind sir
Should one take all the recommended vitamins & minerals together or could it be taken some during breakfast & other during lunch ?
Thank you. My CRNP just recommended that I discontinue Actos, so we’ve started that. It’s good of you to give us advice for discussions with our health providers. I “stressed” myself off KETO diet during the home isolation, but I think I must get back on it. I feel better when I eat better food. Thanks again...wish I could have you as my doctor!
Please DO NOT take Actos that stuff is deadly , was on it myself , gained 30lbs and then read up on it , it's nasty , there are many other Diabetic Meds than are better , just give them a try I won't recommend any because theyre pretty much trial and error and what is good for me might not be good for you , but Actos is good for no one, take care.

I have a question. Reading of all the list of medications that can cause edema, I have two which I take. One is Astorvastin and Diclofenac. I have been on both for a number of years. I was prescribed Astorvastin after I had a stent put in my heart back in 2008. According to the cardiologist, I have to take this drug. Diclofenac was prescribed to me about 3 or 4 years ago. If this causes edema, what can be substituted as a generic replacement? What about a few drugs that you listed that I have taken a number of years ago but not now? Could past drugs of that type caused edema still be counted?
I had no idea why my legs and feet swell so badly some times and not others. Now I know it’s the ibuprofen! Thanks!
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new movies on Instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of months xD
I sweal on Amlodipine l
For years i was in chronic backpain and was on up to 8 painkillers a day and it seemed the more i took, the worse the pain got so, oneday when i was about to take my first 2 of the day i looked at the bottle and wondered what would happen if i only took the 1st two and no more that day - well, to my surprise, the pain went away but, i thought this was only a fluke and decided, without telling my Dr., to keepp doing this and it worked. I went back to see her and told her what i was doing and i asked her why didn`t she tell other patients the same and her reply was people expect us to dish them out as sweets and that`s what they do.
My worry now is that i`m now on beta blockers and a heart tab called Lixiana and wondered if i`d get away with stopping them too. I`ve been breathless since i took the beta blockers, would that go away if i stopped them as its stated on the pack that breathlessness is a side effect. What about the heart tab if i stopped them too ?
Any help would be appreciated if others stopped them too.
I was Toprol XL for years before changing doctors. Now I don't take anything and I am 63. I find this interesting. They gave my cats Gabapentin for pain when they had to have teeth pulled.
Please do a video on lipedema!
I was put on Amlodipine and noticed swelling of lower legs and feet. It got so bad I was having difficulty getting my shoes on. I stopped taking them told my doctor, and was re-prescribed something else. It took a long time for the swelling to go down.
You are a God Send🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Information was very helpful Thank You.
I started take low doses of Clonidine about 6 months ago. Recently my legs have been swelling and my socks are putting indentations in my legs. I suspected the swelling might be from one of the medications I've been taking for high blood pressure. I just saw this video and guess what? Clonidine is number two on the list. I'm going to ask my doctor to reduce my intake to zero and see what happens.
Its so crazy what medications can do to the body. I once took a medication that made me feel panic, like I was standing on the edge of a cliff and someone was telling me they were going to push me. It was so strange. I've never felt an emotion without a reason for feeling that emotion. Medications can have such awful side affects sometimes
boredom can cause that too hehe ...
Yup!! Same here.. Now if I get panicky constant I definitely know it’s meds👍🏼
Magnesium. Nightly
@@katjafalla8249 Yes, it helps. I take 500 mg every night. 🍁
@@katjafalla8249 Yea and GAbA
Great. I take three prescriptions that promote edema. I also have vein problems that add to it. I am starting to wear support hose on both legs to help with it. Don't know how I will get off these meds.
