<s>[INST] hi i have hbp. but have been off of meds for the last 2 years and now my pressure has been good but my left legs has swelling mostly from the foot to the calf it hasnt really been hurting until yesterday can u please tell me what might it be i went to dr she said it might be sprained but it wasnt as per xray [/INST] Dear patient First of all if you were diagnosed  with  high blood pressure your treatment is for life time as blood pressure can be controlled  with medication  but it cannot go away. Also  swelling due to high blood pressure  is usually bilateral means involves both ankle and feet.  It might be also that swelling is bilateral but involves left side more than right. Please take visit to your physician and get yourself  examined and investigated. Get renal function tests done. Ultrasound  of left leg and ankle should be done to rule out local pathology. All the best. </s>
