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?

Valsartan shortage
Anyone else having a problem getting hold of Valsartan 160mg from their pharmacy? Mine has been trying for a week. Wholesalers in South East all out. Anyone had to change to something else instead. I was thinking I’d ask for Losartan which Ive had in the past.

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

Stent recovery time?
So 3 days ago I had a stent put in 95% blocked LAD. No HA, this was a planned procedure following an angiogram 3 months ago. I'd appreciate hearing others' experiences of how they felt after a stent and how long it took to feel fighting fit again. Everything I read online (God bless Google) and heard

Water Tablets
Amlodipine make my legs swell so doc has given me water tablets. Can anyone tell me if I take one in the morning how long I will need to keep visiting the loo, ie when would it be safe to go out without fear of needing a loo.

Gum problems & Amlodipine
Hi, my gums have been swelling and bleeding for a few months so I went to the dentist and she’s diagnosed Gingival hyperplasia. She asked all about my heart condition and medication. As soon as I mentioned Amlodipine, which Ive been on for 4 months, she said this was a common side effect. Im wondering

Postcard from Como!
I haven't been very active on here for a while but thought I'd say 'hello' with this photo of our "room with a view" which I took yesterday when the sun was shining. Making the most of seeing beautiful places while we still can ... my medication makes me a bad traveler, my normally slim ankles are unbelievably

Pregnant @6 weeks
I have hypertension possibly due to CKD according to my doctors. Found out a couple of weeks ago that I’m pregnant so doctors switched me from Benazepril 40 to Amlodipine 5 to Nifedipine 60. Took them today and boy my heart starts racing. Looked it up and possible side effect is Tachycardia. This made

Cautious
Hi, I have tried a few BP drugs and had side effects. I now refused to take anything as my life was miserable. I don't have any angina, I don't have heart problems and my BP isn't high away from doctors. I monitor it daily. The doctor machine fell apart and was too small cuff, I had to hold in place

Abandoned!
Well, finally had my 13/2 appointment with EP yesterday and as I don’t want an ablation I have been virtually abandoned. Was told I had tried all the tablets! Can’t take Flecainide it makes symptoms worse and been changed from Bisoprolol to Felodipine and now on Nebivolol. Keep taking the Nebivolol
