Experiences with

Amlodipine / Olmesartan

I have raised blood pressure. Prof. Graham Hughes recommended Bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg tablets. These have been very good. However my blood pressure has risen slightly - I have tried amlodipine 5mg and also Ramipril 2.5mg and I have had side effects from both. My GP is not very helpful. Anybody

A lot is posted on here about different meds and side effects, I don't think I've ever started a new med without having at least a head ache for a few days, but mostly, that's it. Recently, I've have a bit of a rough time, feeling quite unwell which I put down to one or both of the new meds from the

Hi, Looking for some advice. I have always had white coat syndrome (WCS), not just at the doctor/ hospital but can also give it to myself when taking my own BP readings.

Good morning all, can I ask if anyone has suffered from swollen ankles turning slightly blue with Amlodipine. I have a video appt with my cardiologist tomorrow and wonder if it is worth putting this question to him. I don't think it's oedema if I press it the skin does not stay in. I am trying to

Hi cardiologist recommended I change amlodipine to diltiazem re continuing chest pain (at rest too) and pressure on chest/sternum, and aspirin to clopidogrel re asthma as was finding breathing out difficult.
