Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Lasix

I was released from hospital yesterday, pancreatitis- had gall bladder removal yesterday. I am taking Rhythmol for heartbeat regulation and yesterday took lasix for fluid removal. My feet and legs are so swollen I can hardly walk, blood pressure running abt 204/62/65pulse. Should I return to the ER at the hospital where I was for seven days. I had no swelling until I started Lasix which had been prescribed by my family doctor. I was taking Maxide 25 before and no problem with swollen feet and legs. My heartbeat seems to skip and is not regular.
