A Puzzler: Stroke is known to cause one-sided foot and hand swelling (edema). Edema limited to hand and foot on 1-side is nervous system effect. If you did not have stroke, is your headache migraine? If you have migraine, is there connection between edema and headache? Why are you taking stimulants vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) and adderal? A condition called idiopathic edema is treated with stimulants. Might be related.
