Amlodipine and Peripheral Neuropathy
I have been on 10mg amlodipine for about 10 years. Bp is great/controlled. I have the usual side effect of swollen feet/ankles, and am used to it. In the last several years I developed peripheral bilateral neuropathy on the bottoms of my feet - no pain, just loss of feeling. Questions: could this be

Amlodipine - side effect
After being diagnosed with high blood pressure I was given these to take. I wanted to try and bring my BP down by diet and excel use but was advised to take them anyway. I have been on them a couple of weeks and literally during yesterday evening, my lower legs swelled up and became rock hard and so

Medication induced insomnia?
Hi everyone, I’m new here and would appreciate any comments from anyone with similar experience. I had a pacemaker implanted 3 wks ago and was discharged on Bisoprolol 5mg, Apixaban 5mg twice daily, Amlodipine 10mg and Atorvastatin 10mg. I knew there might be side-effects and hoped they would settle

Feeling of stiffness and discomfort in left arm on amlodipine. Any similar experiences?
Hi all, I am a 37 year old female and I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. At first the GP thought that my suffering with covid was causing my blood pressure to remain high but after a month of consistent high readings, he started me on amlodipine on 15th March 2021. My feet became swollen

Amlodipine and cold feet?
I've been on 5mg Amlodipine for a year and it has got high blood pressure under control. I have started getting really cold feet with pins and needles at night, is this a known side effect?

Does anyone recommend Losartan or Ace inhibitors?
I have issues with Amlodipine: anxiety, dizziness, insomnia. weight gain, exhaustion and have cut down to 2.5 mg with some improvement. Not sure if some of this is pandemic related anyway but have had amlodipine for over a year now and would like to try something else. My current readings are around

Which high blood pressure medication does not affect RLS ?
Hi I have just been diagnosed as having high blood pressure and have been given Felodipine as my treatment but have noticed that it seems to be aggravating my RLS. Is there other medication which would be more suitable?

New to Hypertension, some assistance please
Hi I'm new to this page having been diagnosed with Hypertension a couple of weeks ago. I was prescribed Amlodipine but that didn't reduce low enough so have now been given Ramipril too. I feel awful since taking Ramipril, at least I'm assuming it's that? My eyes feel 'fluttery', headache, stomach ache

Amlodopine
Does anyone have any problems with Amlodipine. I was prescribed Amlodipine as a trial to treat my angina, and immediately had chest pain. I stopped taking it and pain went. I now break the tablet in half, and take half a tablet a day. No pain. Now. My consultant has now left his job, and I haven’t been

Side effects of amlodipine
I’m on 5mg ramipril and 5mg amlodipine. I am pretty sure that the amlodipine is making me thirsty, fatigued, tired eyes and achy muscles and joints. I used to be on just ramipril but it wasn’t controlling my blood pressure enough so I was given amlodipine as well. I’ve taken it before and I’m sure it

Amlodipine
Hi to all who replied to my post, the doctor has taken me off amlpodine & I'm going onto Ramipril, hope I'm OK on these? She said I had amlpodine in 2019 & had to stop then?? Do why put me on it again? 🙄

Amplodipine
Hello, First time I have used any Forum. Just started on Hormone injections for Prostate Cancer but they appear to be having an effect on raising my blood pressure to an unacceptable level. Doc has just given me Amplodipine tabs to take with my current meds Valsartan, Atorvastatin and Clopidogrel. Will

Valsartan successfully treated my blood pressure with bendroflumethizide but valsartan was stopped and I was given candesartan 8mg then 10mg
I developed high blood pressure and palpatations. I wore a 24hr BP machine and the called me as the readings were average 220/91. I’ve started taking 16mg Candesartan this morning in hope it helps but I’m really worried now and the palpitations are uncomfortable
