I found my legs and ankles swelled. Been given a new inhaler called Anoro Ellipta. Since taking this new inhaler my legs/ankles have not swollen. It has helped with my breathing also. It is a new one that has just come out. Took me off the Spiriva for this one.

My ankles swelled all the time . I try to keep them raise up. I went to a heart dr. It was because my lungs was so bad he said not much I can do . I try to stay away from salt.keeping them raise helps a lot. Thomas
