I've been on 5mg Amlodipine for a year and it has got high blood pressure under control. I have started getting really cold feet with pins and needles at night, is this a known side effect?

I’m assuming you have read the patient info leaflet that came with the pack, I’m wondering whether you are being over-treated and your BP is too low? In your situation I’d like a medical consultation

I have the same but I think it might be to do with nerve damage from previous slipped discs for me. Interesting that you have the same as the soreness and chill keeps me awake. It's only on one foot so I put a woolly sock on it and bend the toes forwards and that seems to quieten it.

I have been on them for 6 months. If anything I’m the opposite with hot feet, though to be fair I probably had that beforehand. I combat my issue by removing shoes and socks and elevating my legs. Always works. Good luck in sorting yours

no not aware of these symptoms, have been feeling cold though.
