Problem description: Hypertension, long-term medication, I used to take lacidipine tablets, I took reserpine for a period of time, and then I changed to nifedipine sustained-release tablets (II) at the beginning of the year. But now my feet are swollen. I don’t get swollen in the morning, but become more swollen in the afternoon. Does the antihypertensive medicine you take have any effect? (I went to the hospital to check it, but there was no result. Massage and foot bath were of no effect. Can people with high blood pressure have their feet soaked?) Can I change other antihypertensive medicines? Are there any better antihypertensive drugs recommended? (It seems that the side effects of reserpine are a bit big and I don’t want to take this)
