I would ask if you have seen a cardiologist for a complete work up. They could address your swollen feet and also see if your circulation is adequate. The weight gain may be from sodium retention which your doctor can address.

Both the Lanuts and actos can add weight on. Some of the foot problem could be swelling from the actos. Call your doctor for further info and let hm or her know.
