Hi

I have just been diagnosed as having high blood pressure and have been given Felodipine as my treatment but have noticed that it seems to be aggravating my RLS. Is there other medication which would be more suitable?

Well a long time ago, I was prescribed Metropolol. It didn't affect my RLS.

Hi I am getting puffy feet and ankles mainly at night, as well as a fizzing in my leg veins in the morning. Also wake up with a dry mouth.
