Hi again, in what way do you feel odd?

[peppiblue in reply to Eviedog12]

very light headed with palpitations ,I am thinking of going back to the amlodipine ,they were bad but better than the felodipine .

Hi there, had a chat to the doctor and she has changed me to ramipril 2.5mg. let's see how that goes. Have a blood test in two weeks to make sure kidneys are not affected. How are you getting on?

I have been taken off felodipine and they have doubled my dose 4 mg to 8 mg of candesartan which I have been taking for years , and never had any problems with , starting to feel a bit better thank goodness , keeping a eye on my blood pressure and not too bad at the moment , I suppose time will tell .
