Amlodipine causing joint pains?
Hi, I have been on 10 mg for about two months now. My pre-existing bi-lateral shoulder bursitis is causing me a lot of pain after a stable (ish) 2.5 years. My feet and ankles are swollen and it is painful to walk. Horrible fatigue. Hips and knees starting to feel stiff. I'm 52 and work full time but

Amlodipine for HBP
Hi Ramipril taken in the morning lowers my BP to around 110/73 all day. Brilliant success, However I am prescribed Amlodipine at night and when I wake my BP is 150/95 - Not such a success. Anyone else found this? I am having difficulty persuading my GP that I'm not getting good results with Amlodipine

Methotrexate? Is it too soon to go onto this drug
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2020 and have found this forum invaluable over the past 13 months. This is my first post as so far I have always found the answer to my questions somewhere on the site. However on this occasion I would really appreciate some advice. I’ve just updated

Different groups of meds
Would anyone know if you change from say one ace med to another whether the side effects are the same? I.e I was on felodipine but got swollen ankles, would amlodipine do the same? This goes for all types of meds, ccbs and args. Thanks

Living with and improving Morning High Blood pressure
Hi all, May I get my frustration off my chest today by posting (as it helps me). Sorry in advance. I feel pretty lonely trying to deal with my HBP. It's so frustrating not being able to see your GP and talk it through. I'm on Ramipril (Mornings) and Amlodipine (Evenings) and yes they have really helped

Drug Combinations
Have been taking Diltiazem and flecainide for many years which seems to have kept AF under control. However after recent bad experience with Losartan for BP I have been prescribed Amlodipine. Does anyone out there have experience of two Calcium Blockers?

Things are settling down...
Morning all, after over four months of seeing various specialists talking to my GP (note not face to face because of Covid) and ten visits to A&E the medicos seem to have agreed what is the problem. The original angina diagnosis was shown to be false as a later CTCA scan showed my arteries were pretty

Ectopic heartbeats
I have been prescribed Amlodipine 5mg for hypertension in April. At the end of July I was prescribed Bisoprolol 2.5mg for ectopic heartbeats. Although it has only been a few weeks, I don’t feel comfortable with it, I feel lightheaded and need to rest more than normal. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms
