Can Swelling In The Legs And Feet Be Due To Blood Pressure Medicine?

I am suffering from side effects from blood pressure medicine. The primary being extreme swelling of the lower legs and feet. With fluid leaking out of the skin which dries after trickling down my leg to a yellow sulfur color. The skin is red and inflamed, thickened to the feel and constancy of silly putty. I have sharp, searing pain in the leg, and deep dull pain in the ankle. Pfizer admits that this is a known side effect of their drug, but they will not say what it is or what to do about it.. We are not permitted to share that information. See your Dr. Well, my Dr. has run many tests and has no idea what it is or what to do about it.. Do you know??????
