Suggest Treatment For Severe Leg Cramps And Dehydration

Hello, i was told by my doctor i have very poor circulation which as a result i have extreme swelling in my legs and feet. He put me on torsemide 100mg which makes me very dehydrated and dizzy and gives me very severe leg cramps. Is there another treatment for me?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello there! I have read through your question and I can understand your concern. First of all I would like to ask you did your physician do your EKG? If not you should get it done . Also I would advise you to get your kidney function tests done to know if they are functioning properly. It is very important to know the underlying cause for swelling on your legs. If torsemide is causing so much side effects you should stop it after consulting your doctor. Further treatment will depend on your test results. I hope that answers your question. If you have any other questions please feel free to write.
