Calcium Channel Blocker's and Nocturia.
Has anybody noticed an increase in Nocturia since taking CCB's? I am taking Amlodipine in the evening and noticed an increase in Nocturia. Every morning at about 03:30 I am awakened by a familiar and unwelcome urge....ok, it's very common in over 70's, but it's fairly new to me. Problem is I rarely get

Query: anyone with diagnosed fibro later put on lisinopril?
My ‘normal’ fibromyalgia pain for last 6 years all over with exhaustion and weakness ( I’m also insulin dependent diabetic, hypothyroid, Hashimoto’s and 40 year old chronic spine problem), but for some reason my BP shot up about a month ago. I’ve been taking amlodipine for years, and two weeks ago got

Mild atherosclerosis and Amlodipine
Hi everyone, newby here. I had been getting a discomfort in my chest after climbing a lot of stairs. I know it may sound strange, but it felt like I had swallowed an ice cube and had to wait for it to go down to stop the discomfort. I was initially told by my GP that everything was fine, but I persisted

Change of medication
I had a severe hypertensive episode in May & was admitted to hospital. I was discharged 2 days later with ramapril and amlodipine. I have had a horrid tickly cough since I was on the ramapril & GP has now prescribed losartan but my BP is creeping up a bit although I’m only on day 3 of the losartan.

Blood Pressure and Heat, SLE and more.😕
Hi everyone, As we take on another season of heat everywhere, I complain about the heat each year, and I am sorry. I hope you all are doing the best you can with this wave.. My question is, does anyone out there have Hypertension with SLE? Many more symptoms seem to be aggravated by the changing weather

Amlodipine 5mg splittable to 2.5mg IS AVAILABLE
New to this community. Hello to All. I have recently had my prescribed amlodipine 5mg prescription reduced to 2,5mg in consequence of much reduced blood pressure and asymptomatic sinus bradycardia. Total withdrawal had earlier led to rebound hypertension; from 110/65 to 160/90 Unfortunately the tablets

AMLODIPINE
After I had a stroke I was diagnosed with AF. I was put on a number of tablets including Ramipril and Amlodipine for high blood pressure. My ankles and feet are regularly very swollen, and I have read that Amlodipine often causes this. Does anyone know of a tablet that performs in the same way to lower

High blood pressure
Hi I've had a pacemaker for 2 years but have recently been started on amlodipine for high blood pressure by my gp. A few days in and I'm feeling nauseous and have muscle aches. Just wondering if anyone else takes this and if they've had these symptoms. Thanks.

Got appointment with GP
I’ve taken all of your advice about swollen legs and amlodipine, spoke to my Dr’s surgery and my Gp wants to see me face to face. I hope he can change my meds or water meds, then I won’t have to cut my jeans at the bottom as they’ve become to tight !!!! Not sure the world is ready for me in my shorts

Amlodipine puffy legs
I’ve put a message on here before at some point but not sure I asked the right question. I’ve had my amlodipine increased, my lower legs felt tight, now I’ve increased surprise!!!! It feels a bit worse. Is this something that goes away after time once your body gets used to it or do I need to speak

Chest pain
I hope you don’t think this is a really silly question but for my chest pain I use the GTN spray on top of all the meds, here comes the silly bit..... I know you need to go to hospital after a few sprays of GTN but I thought I saw a post on here that a hot water bottle can help with the pain, so would

Lercanidipine - anyone have any experience with it?
Have just been taken off amlodipine because of swelling of the ankles/lower leg, setting the area on the leg damaged by cellulitis off and swelling in two fingers. Doc has put me on Lercanidipine to lower my bp. Am also on Apixaban. It was on this forum that I read about these side effects with amlodipine
