I started taking felodipine about 3 years ago. About the same time the lower part of my legs began having 'pressure and discomfort'. My ankles would swell during the day but would dissipate at night. About 6 months ago, after reading about the side effects of felodipine on the net, i stopped the medication. The results were amazing. My legs and ankles look like they did 20 years ago, slim and trim.
