I have gout and high blood pressure. I take Diova 160/25 and Norvasec for BP and Alopurinol for gout. I get swelling in the legs. My doctors can’t fix this problem. When they change the drugs or doze my blood pressure goes up and I get gout attack….anyone out there who has my problem?

   Keep your leg up when resting. Lose weight if you are overweight.
   Wear shoes without backs in them. Try to move your ankles.

   Legs up and cut back on salt intake. Eat more fiber and less sugar.
