Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Hi, all! Just wanted to tell you that, thankfully, had a really good 6 days while we were on vacation in Las Vegas. He was able to eat every meal and had no major spasm days. Our friends that were with us said that maybe we just need to live out there . He did have a different problem, though, and I was wondering if any of the other Nifedipine users here have had this. The last few days of our trip, 's ankles were swollen. The swelling would go down by morning (probably because he was lying in bed and his feet were elevated). I thought that maybe this was aggrevated by his retaining fluids, maybe from being slightly dehydrated from the dry climate and all those free drinks they give you in the casino (they say alcohol and his favorite drink, Pepsi, can also dehydrate you). I did read on Medscape that it is a side effect of Nifedipine. We'll see if being back in humid Michigan, and hopefully, drinking more fluids will keep this from happening now that we're home. I just wondered if anyone else has had this side effect. Have a great weekend! Ann, I'm so glad to hear that you're home and starting to feel better! We're all waiting to hear more of your recovery story and, hopefully, how nice it is to eat again! Take care and keep healing! in Michigan Quote
