I had a follow up phone call Aug 19th with my doctor, it served as my physical for the year. It was a follow up to a blood test I did. Everything seemed fine. Mainly, I had to discuss the continuing swelling of my right ankle. He thought it was caused by my amlopidine blood pressure medicine as I had been suspecting myself. He told me to start taking it at night and continue with my other blood pressure med in the morning. Hopefully this helps else he would try perhaps increasing my regular olmesartan med.
Actually I decided to stop the amlopidine altogether and within a few days the swelling is noticeably down. I am also feeling less fatigued. I will decide what to do next in the coming week.

Good to hear that you were able to turn around that swelling.
It's good to know what works for your body and what doesn't.
Hope it gets better. Some meds have nasty side effects :-|
Sound like you pay attention to your health. Which some don't.
