Amlodipine side effects
Just joined this forum and it has been really helpful. GP prescribed Amlodipine 5mg back in Dec'19 for hypertension. Was not certain about taking this, asked about side effects and was told, maybe swollen ankles. That has been the least of it. After taking for 2 weeks, was in absolute with muscle

Amlodipine
When you stop Amlodipine how long does it stay in your system. I have read that it can take 12 days is this correct. Pharmacist said it has a half life 3/4 days so confused.

Weird feeling 3 weeks after getting stents.
Hi! I am a 53 year old male. I am very active and play Table Tennis for couple of hours almost every day. I got a nuclear stress test that showed abnormality. This prompted my cardiologist for me to get a catheterization done. During Catheterization the doctor discovered 99.9% was blocked and the radial

Possibly getting off exforge
I've had some strange health issues over the last 5-6 years and starting to wonder whether it's the exforge because I can find no other cause of this. Years ago, I think after I started exforge, I started to get random aches and pains in my arms and hands, but it was not so bad so I generally ignored

Acid reflux
Does anyone find that taking blood pressure medications makes their reflux worse. I started with Silent reflux back in early 2014 I have managed to keep under control with diet. I started taking Amlodipine since March and I am having issues. Apparently calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, and Ace

Amlodipine
I have been taking Amlodipine since March. The doctor at the time said that they would cause swelling of the ankles. Well so far doesn’t appear to be so where else can fluid build up. I have noticed my bust has swollen is this possible?

Confused about my see-saw readings.
I'm new here but have had hypertension issues for 40 of my 80 years. When stressed I know it's going to be high (160/80) Otherwise it's low. Often 100/65 with a low pulse (55). I'm on low dose Amlodipine and Lisinipril for about 5 years. I've lost 30 lbs in recent years. I'm 4"11 Stable at 118 lbs.

Medication for those without stents?
Hi everyone, I had a smallish heart attack aged 42 (3 years ago now) and I didn't have any stents fitted as the blockage was in a small artery. I was on Ticagrelor for about 6 months then moved to clopidogrel. I've been on it since. Is there any hope of coming off it ever? I asked my GP who wrote to
