Copd And Swollen Feet (Top voted first)

Updated

Are COPD and asthma medications known for causing Edema or puffy feet? I've also had Astrazeneca vaccine 2 weeks ago. Weather is starting to warm up here in Australia. Thanks

Many medications can cause edema as a side effect, but I can't be more specific, without knowing which medications you are using, since there are quite a few available.

Can you please post back with more details?

There are also cases where edema can be caused by some other health issue, such as high blood pressure.

You can learn more about Edema here, from Medline Plus.

Have you ever had blood pressure problems?

Hi, I'm in Australia. Very hot type of year especially with COPD asthma. Wife and I went through the floods here way back in March, still waiting for the insurance company to repair our house, we are staying in a caravan. I scraped my foot on the step and it was infected the next day. I went to emergency as my foot was swollen. I have been prescribed 3 different antibiotics. The graze on my foot has just about healed but my foot is still swollen and it's been about 3 weeks now. They gave me a repeat script for Dalacin, which is a strong antibiotic. I don't feel antibiotics are helping, just making my breathing harder. I read where it's common to have swollen feet with COPD. I'm 70 years old and don't feel like taking anymore antibiotics. Anybody have any ideas? I don't have much faith in drs around where I live. I feel antibiotics could be doing me more harm. My blood tests were clear as well. Thanks.
