Question Analysis:Hello, telmisartan hydrothiazide can cause or aggravate insufficient blood volume and lead to electrolyte imbalance. Your current ankle edema may be due to electrolyte abnormalities or liver and kidney function. Your blood pressure control is OK now.
Guidance suggestion: It is recommended that you go to the hospital to take blood to check electrolytes, liver and kidney function, blood sugar, blood lipids, and do a basic physical examination.
