Nikki - I would suspect the propranolol. Decreased tension on the blood vessels caused by propranolol can cause pooling of blood in the legs resulting in the swelling. It might be wise to report this to your doc so that he/she can possibly adjust the dose. In the meantime, rest in a comfortable chair with your feet above your waist. The pooling is caused by gravity, so you can ease some of it by lounging with your feet up. (Good excuse to loaf around, huh.)Hope this helps - Cam
