A member asked:
What do you suggest if my mom is on metoprolol 60mg and amlodipine 5mg and she is retaining so much fluids and she is not on lasix (furosemide) .?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly change meds: Amlodipine frequently causes fluid retention and may be the cause of the swelling. Additionally h the blood pressure may not be adequately controlled on the two medications and this could cause decreased cardiac output with fluid retention and lung congestion. Would suggest that the Amlodipine be changed to a different antihypertensive vasodilator, possibly and ACE inhibitor of ARB.
