Felodipine tablets

[HotPotato75]

I have been put on Felodipine 2.5 1 daily, but occasionally get the feeling I am short of breath has anyone else experienced this

Probably doesn’t help much, I’ve been on 2.5mg Felodipine for about two months now without any issues,

Breathlessness or shortness of breath isn’t a known side effect so it may well be another issue causing this. I’d urge you to talk to your doctor as soon as you can.

I take 5mg with no problems with with breathlessness. Increased doses can make ankles & feet swell.

I’m on Felodipine 2.5mg and my feet and fingers swell, could it be my tablets, they don’t seem to be controlling my bp very well either as my bp is still raised but no review till next year with practice nurse
