Swollen ankle/foot

Hi I have been on Blood pressure tablets for a year and a half now - the past few months noticed my left ankle is slightly swollen and now my left foot hurts especially when I get up in the morning, I take my medication before i go to bed. I lost a little bit of weight and my blood pressure has been down for a while now and I am wondering whether it is something to do with my blood pressure medication and needs changing. I am on 5mg amlodopine and 2.5 losartan potassium. Has anyone had something similar?

Thanks x

    Maybe not, if one part of the body suffers, its more likely something else is causing the problem and not just blood pressure. Blood pressure effects heart rate, and overall body function, and not just a particular body part.
