Beta blockers/ankle swelling

[Guest guest]

I was taking 80 mg of Sotalol BID and now it has been increased to 160 mg BID.

I noticed very little swelling of the ankles on 80 mg; however, with the 160 mg

the swelling is much more noticeable. Is this a side effect of beta blockers?

The only new med I have added is 10 meq of Klor Con (potassium) and I have

discontinued Norvasc.

Thanks.

I had the same problem with norvasc,one of the side effect of norvasc is

swelling in the legs or feet

Me too! I used Norvasc and my ankles swelled. I have very skinny ankles, and

they were swollen every evening on Norvasc. My Internist switched me to another

BP med, and they are back to skinny.

Hi Loretta

Yes I believe it is a side effect of Sotolol. I get it but it goes off

with rest.

Dear

You know I have been getting some ankle swelling since my sotalol was put up

to 120mgs BD and I never thought that could have been the cause. Well now I

know.

Thankyou
