WORSE BP MEDS EVER (AMLODIPINE)
Hope I have enough room to write this. My wife and I both took amlodipine 5 mg. I was on it for about 10 years and my wife for 5 years. My wife was having all kinds of problems and I didn't think I had any. Well boy was I wrong. When she quit taking it the withdrawals she had made me quit also. I figured

What alternatives are there to Metoprolol and Valsartan?
My brother of 79 living in a village in Calif. saw a cardio who prescribed metoprolol 50.mg a day and Valsartan 80 mg. This village has no GPs and you have to drive 30 miles to see anyone. If there is an emergency the fire brigade come out with a paramedic, who decides if you need to go to hospital

Ramipril, diarrhoea and pred
After doubling my dose of amlodipine due to my BP still being too high, I suffered from poor sleep quality - my fitbit recorded very little if any, deep sleep. I dropped back to 5mg and immediately my sleep improved. But now they've put me on ramipril 2.5mg to try, in addition to the 5mg amlodipine.

I took my blood pressure readings twice a day for a week and recorded them on the chart the GP surgery gave me and today I got a telephone appointment with the GP. My average BP reading for the whole week, was 131/67, which the GP said was

Amlodipine and calcium
Hi, I'm on amlodipine for high blood pressure, have been since 2016. I was diagnosed with osteopenia T score -1.1, in 2021 and put on calcium and vitamin D. I also take Vitamin K2 to help with the calcium absorption. I recently had an annual blood pressure review and although it's not gone up, it's still

lacidipine
hello, is anyone on this calcium channel blocker? Just wondered as seems to cause least side effect in terms of redness feet/ swelling compared with, for example Amlodipine . Thank you. Think one of the newer calcium channel blockers so might be expensive I suppose. Also not sure about dosage seems

on a separate post. explained am waiting for appointment re brightred flushed feet on 10mg Amlodipine. Effective reduction BP but obviously too high a dosage for me. But had 5mg and not enough. Ramipril gives me a cough. So possibly will be reduced back to 5mg Amlodipine and given Candesartan or

They are back to normal by the following morning and I always spend the evening with my feet raised and exercising my ankles. I am told that this is a side effect of the Amlodipine, but does anyone
