Hello, I am Rachelle, and I do have swelling of my feet due to a heart condition, so I take Lisinapril 20/25mg [ that's 25 mg of Lasix, and my feet usually do good, but last night when I went to sleep I noticed a little tingling type sensation on my L foot... woke up at 5, went to get out of bed [still feeling the tingling, but not as bad] and fell, my foot is swelled, and my mom noticed a knot about the size of a $1 coin, and my ankle bone.. I can't even see it.. if anyone knows what I can do here at home , besides taking 325 mg Asprin, just n case it may be a blood clot building up there?
Please help me figure out what is going on.
Thanks,
Rachelle

Hi , I'm new here but I looked up the side effects of Lisinopril . According to The Pill Book ( pg . 621 book available at Walmart for $ 5.00 ) rare side effects can affect your muscles and joints , sex drive , mental status , and repiratory tract . Consult your Doctor . It's just my opinion but I do have personal experience with circulation problems in my ankles that are relieved by either taking potassium or just plain eating a banana . Most of our ailments can be relieved with the proper supplements and eating properly . You can write back if you need to .
