Amlodipine
Hello everyone, I realise this may not be relevant on this site, but I’ve been struggling with palpitations and anxiety for a few months. I had put this down (see previous posts) to the adrenals not wanting to play ball after their nice long holiday, due to Pred, but it suddenly dawned on me that this

Blood Pressure Disaster
I posted this in the Kidney forum but wanted to get the Heart folks opinions too. I have been taking blood pressure medication for many years and after lots of experimentation by doctors I believed it was finally under control. I went to my nephrologist a month ago and the reading was 118/76. I

forgotten?
I am prescribed amlodipine and bisopherol for high blood pressure, one of each every day. Now I have forgotten whether I have taken them today or not. I wonder if it is better to take an extra dose or miss a dose. Iris x

The most common side effects include headaches, flushing, feeling tired and swollen ankles. These usually improve after a few days. Amlodipine can also be called amlodipine besilate, amlodipine maleate or amlodipine mesylate. I am sending this because it says most about the side effects of Amlodipine

Puzzled
Hello lovely people. I'm in a proper pickle at the moment, so would appreciate your views, comments or experiences. My blood pressure is, apparently, too high so was put on amlodipine 5mg. After the first couple of days, being catatonic, things resolved a bit but leaving me dizzy, unsteady on my feet

Change in Blood Pressure Meds a Disaster
I went to my nephrologist two weeks ago. They took my BP and it was absolutely perfect - 118/62 which is hard to believe because my BP is usually high in the doctor's office. At the time, I was taking 10 mg of Amlodipine (maximum dose) and 100 mg of Metoprolol. I was SOOOOO happy! So the nephrologist

appointment update
Well left for my appointment with a HR of 111. ECG hospital HR 174, BP 167/132.- full blown AF. Deposited in chair and wheeled to the consultant. My husband offered to push as the poor nurse wasn’t strong enough ( I only weigh 67kg ). If the resource was available I would have been kept in hospital

Amlodipine
I am on 10mg of Amlodipine plus another type of drug. The Amlodipine makes me nauseous but the combo is effective in controlling my BP. Does anyone know if you can split the Amlodipine dosage 5mg in morning and 5mg in evening and whether this helps symptoms or not? In the UK, trying to make an appointment
