[|Human|] hi i have swelling in both my lower legs with a rash as well. i do have hyper tension, am currently taking other hypertension medication, but have been advised not to take the diuretic adco-retic for a while now. I am also feeling dizzy. is this because i am not taking the adco retic anymore?
[|AI|]  Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Swollen legs in your case can be directly related to elevated blood pressure and right sided heart failure. I advise you to have a 2 dimensional echocardiography, ECG and lipid profile to assess the functioning of your heart. Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly. Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day. Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days. Chat Doctor. Reduce the intake of fatty and fried foods. Fruits like pomegranate, apple,
