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

Has anyone with Raynaud's been prescribed Amlodipine? I would be interested to hear experiences. I have it sat in my cupboard but am cautious as I keep being told at every appointment i have low blood pressure and as far as I'm aware, this is also used to treat high blood pressure. I don't want to lower

Amlodipine
Hi Everyone I have micro vascular angina and along with other pills I was put on 5mg amlodipine. My blood pressure has been too low now so consultant suggested cutting it in half, well not had much luck with that as it seems to crumble up! I’ve been told that 2.5mg is not available. Any suggestions?

Waiting for LFT results
Hi, Went to have my blood pressure checked, which was high and given Amlodipine for that. Also had a blood test which showed elevated enzymes so am awaiting results of a Liver Function Test. I never considered myself a heavy drinker. Never got drunk. Just a couple of pints most evenings on the way home

Amlodipine
I have recently had my hysterectomy cancelled because of high blood pressure, and I've been prescribed Amlodipine to bring it down so I can have the surgery, which I desperately need because of severe prolapse. My full-body RLS has been controlled for many years by Dihydrocodiene, but since taking Amlodipine
