Hello,
I hope this finds you all well.
I started Adalat two weeks ago and have been mostly ok. I've had an increase in headaches, flushes and urination. Hoping with time on them things would improve. I take 5mg three times a day.
The whitening of my fingers has indeed decreased, but the rate they go bright and boiling hot has increased. Which I think is unrelated to Raynauds. But GP didn't quite understand that when I have a Raynauds attack, the blood comes back in normally. The redness and heat happens when my hands are totally normal.
Since Thursday though, I feel as if I've been hit by a bus. Would some side effects come on after two weeks? I ache from head to foot, my joints, everything.
I can't see the GP until a week after next.
So I don't know if I should stop taking them, or carry on until I see him. Because what if I've got a virus and it's not the meds, you know?
Any advice please?
Warm regards

Thanks for your response.
I managed to get to the gp after work. I almost fainted this morning so thought I bttr go!
My BP is low, so he thinks it side effects. I'm going to knock it down to one tablet at night and see how I go. I take pantrapozole for my stomach and reflux, so hopefully with the reduced dose, the bile I can taste all the time will dissappear!
