Lately I have been experiencing swollen ankles and feet esp upon wakening in the mornings; I am relatively sure this is just a result of the higher temps & humidity we have been getting. I am currently taking a low dose medication for hypertension that contains a mild diuretic but I still get that swollen feeling. I drink about 32-64oz of water each day. Any suggestions for reducing the swelling?

    You'd be wise to check in with your MD
    You may need to have your meds adjusted
