Hello, Thanks for the query.
Since the person is on Olemsartan 20 mg plus Amlodepine 5 mg for her BP, it appears that swelling of the lower limbs is due to Amlodepine as that drug does cause lower limb swelling in some patients. Plus it is also essential to achieve a strict blood glucose control with fasting < 100 mg, Pp 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. So you may have to change the BP treatment with a suitable drug. Thanks.

Hello sir, hope you are doing good. Pls don't stop bp medication, unless doctor ask you to stop. Diabetes, bp require a long term medication. But this might also lead to your constipation problem.
