Hi all just want to ask if anyone has had side effects with Evorel patches 75. Specifically ankle swelling in one leg and headaches? I have been to gp and he didn't mention the hrt as a possible cause. Had this problem a few years ago but turned out to be bp medication was the cause. Swapped that and it was perfect-until I started using these patches!! Same ankle but it doesn't go down on resting  starting to think I'm going nuts tyi

Ankle swelling sounds more like the BP medication. Is it a calcium channel blocker? Did the same to me. I've changed mine to lacidipine and OK so far. Some CCBs are worse than others for ankle swelling, so perhaps get your BP meds reviewed again.

Hi Nickih63, I changed from everol sequi to everol 75 patches & provera 5mg last friday (been on them a week), no untoward side effects as yet. I feel I've been sleeping better although inconsistently. I don't know much about BP meds but that's more likely to be the culprit.

Hi Nicki I have been on Everol 75 now 100 and never had any problems. Think your ankle swelling is likely to be meds for BP.
