Could the swelling in my ankles and around my eyes over the past few days be a side effect of my blood pressure medication Telma 20, and what should I do?
Telma 20 (telmisartan) is an effective blood pressure medication, but mild fluid retention in the ankles or around the eyes can occasionally occur as a side effect. However, swelling can also point to other health factors that need checking. Please do not stop taking your medication suddenly, as your blood pressure could rise. I gently recommend contacting your doctor for a quick evaluation. They can safely check your symptoms, monitor your kidney function, and adjust your treatment if necessary.
