Varying Blood Pressure
Five years ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I was prescribed amlodipine. At the time I was employed in a high pressure job but I was told that I would probably have to keep taking the medication. Since I retired my blood pressure reduced considerably so in consultation with my GP I stopped

Stent pain
Following recent cabg surgery I had further problems and a stent was put into one of the grafts 2 weeks ago. I continue to have chest pain so returned to A&E this week on advice of GP but the consultant is sure it’s stent pain. So why didn’t the cardiac consultant give me pain killers while I was in

Amlodipine Side Effects
I’ve been taking 10mg Amlodipine for almost 2 years now and still suffering from swollen ankles and feet. Sometimes, especially when I’m wearing socks that stop at ankle height or clothes that might rub against my ankles, it causes very sore, red rash that can spread up my leg. I’ve seen swollen ankles

Atorvastatin and Amlodipine
Hi folks .. I have been taking Amlodipine 10mg for years without any problems. Recently I was referred to a consultant cardiologist for possible Angina. I also have raised cholesterol (6.6) so he prescribed Atorvastatin 40mg.. In the leaflet it says not to take this statin with Amlodpine as it interacts

How long does amlodipine take to work ?
My gp has started me on 5mg of amlodipine for suspected angina. I’ve not had any actual investigations for this yet although my symptoms are highly suggestive of it. He didn’t tell me an awful lot about it but reading on the nhs website it says it can take some time for it to kick in and in fact symptoms

Is joint pain a side effect of Amlodipine?
My doctor prescribed Amlopidine 5mgs three weeks ago to lower my blood pressure. Initial side effects of nausea and dizziness are greatly improved but I am now experiencing joint pains in my fingers, wrists etc. Could this be related to this drug?

Total confusion with BP meds
Hi, had blood pressure meds for some years, had settled on Candesartan 4mg and Felodipine 5mg for many years, then after some extreme personal situations and equally extreme health issues my BP started getting high. Doc put me up to 10 mg Felodipine and then increased the Candesartan to 16 mg. This helped

Shortness of breath and wheezing :(
Good Day, I have been having shortness of breath and wheezing for about 10 months now. It started with heart palpitations and headaches. I went to my doctor and he put me on amlodipine 10mg. I eat healthy and exercise 4-5 times per week and fit for my age. I thought that I could cure my blood pressure

Blood pressure phobia
For many years I have had a phobia to matters medical. For years I hated plasters after I fainted as an 8 year old while having one put on. My father had a heart attack and died at 57 and I hated the sight of him wired up in hospital to all the machines (I was 11) Getting my blood pressure taken has

Aortic Disection
I was diagnosed with AD in July 2018. I am too old for surgery which is very risky and could cause stroke, paralysis and even death, so basically I am living on borrowed time. I have been given Amlodipine and Indapamide to keep BP below 120 and take my own BP readings. Apart from echos and dye included

Amlodipine dose
I was wondering what benefits others are experiencing due to Amlodipine? I was started on Amlodipine 5mg in March this year. I was having regular check ups for blood pressure etc due to the possible side effects but I've been fine. No side effects whatsoever, but the medication doesn't seem to be doing
