Sudden oedema (swelling) may occur due to fluid retention from high blood pressure, side effects of your medications, or underlying heart or kidney issues. It is important to consult your doctor promptly to review your medications, determine the cause, and receive appropriate treatment.

It is concerning that you have developed oedema despite normal recent tests and ongoing treatment with Telma H and Ecospirin.

🩺 Possible Causes

  • Medication effects: Although Telma H contains a diuretic that usually reduces fluid retention, changes in your body's response or interactions could still cause oedema.
  • Heart, kidney, or liver function changes: Even with normal recent tests, subtle or early changes in these organs can lead to fluid buildup.
  • Other causes: New factors like salt intake, inactivity, or venous insufficiency might contribute.

⚠️ When to Seek Urgent Care

  • Sudden worsening of swelling, especially if accompanied by shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe fatigue.
  • Signs of infection such as redness, warmth, or pain in the swollen area.

🩺 Recommended Next Steps

  • Consult your cardiologist or nephrologist promptly to evaluate the oedema and review your medications and organ function.
  • Monitor your weight and swelling daily, noting any progression.
  • Avoid excessive salt intake and keep your legs elevated when possible.
