After being told I have a blood problem, and raised blood pressure, the GP put me on Amlodipine. I cannot find any reference to contra indications, but would like anyone who is on this to give me feedback. I know it is a calcium channel blocker, which may help my Raynaud's apparently, and I am sure I read somewhere that I may have to up my dose slightly.
Blood tests from last week:-
TSH 0.04 (0.27-4.20)
T4 14.3 (11.00-25)
T3 5.6 (3.10-6.60)
Yes, they tested the T3! I have been having ongoing "discussions" with the labs, so maybe my name comes up with a siren and flashing lights!
They did not test iron or ferritin, or Vit D, but the rest of the blood looks OK. I asked it they could add Cortisol to the test but the nurse refused. She looked shocked that someone would ask!
I can see I could go up a smidge with my NDT, but would be grateful if anyone else on Amlodipine could tell me if it effected their thyroid in any way.
Thanks.
