After another very extreme salt craving tonight, my feet and ankles are throbbing a lot. I have extreme protruding veins around my ankles and the tops of my feet that came on suddenly.
I'm on doxy, rifampin, nystatin, florinef and cortef. Any ideas what this is? I hope it's okay. My blood pressure was super low yesterday. It wouldn't register at the store. It said out of range. 20 minutes later it was about 83/60.

Were your bulging veins also painful when they throbbed? Is that really bart?

Yes, my veins were painful when they throbbed. It's gone this morning. I am concerned being on the florinef and cortef.
The handout claims if you have swelling or ankle issues that's a side effect. The salt craving I was worried could point to or contribute to an electrolyte imbalance from the cortef and florinef.
I am also confused as to why my blood pressure would be even lower than normal when the main reason for using the cortef/florinef was to raise my BP. This is despite all the salt cravings (that began before the meds).
I guess I'll find out when I have my next blood test.
