Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm sorry I didn't know it was a pay thing. My apologies for your timeI've been taking HCTZ (1/2 pill) once in the morning, I take one Atorvastatin 40mc at nite before bed. 2weeks ago I went to ENT for a hoarseness condition I was having for 6months or so due to a lot of singin(I've never had it reacure this much so I went see about it) After a scope down the nose to look at my vocal chords he said I had silent reflux. With all that said he prescribed Prilosec. 2 pills a day. I have been without much rest the last three days due to a song writing session that I'm had to cram. Literally I've had only 4-6hours in that time and sitting still most of it behind a sound console. Last nite heading to bed I realized my feet were swollen and my left foot more than the right and each leg a 3" above the ankle on the inside part of leg is a red area about 3"feverish. Both ankles /feet were very stiff.and tender This morning better. I raised them up while I slept. Very little swelling in the right side and none on the leg above ankle on right side. The left side the swelling is down some in the foot But red spot still above ankle on left leg. It's as if it just appeared. Never had this happen. I'm 51 a Caucasian male, 5'10 I weigh 180. Thought I was healthy. Blood pressure is under control with the HCTZ and never had heart attack. Cholesterol was not off the chart 1and a 1/2 ago but the projected chol. Is why I'm on it (maintainance) And now I've been on Prilosec about 2weeks. Can taking these together cause this ? Would a blood clot form that fast? Would one leg get better and one not? Strange. Thanks
