Taste
Hi everyone - sorry to be a pain but I have another question. I am on felodipine 2.5mg and I have developed a cough and cant taste anything - has anyone else lost their sense of taste on this medication?

Amlodipine alternative ?
I'm currently having problems with fluid retention which I believe to be a result of taking amlodipine, does anyone else take a replacement for this ?

New to heart drugs for high blood pressure, do I have a problem, am I being over treated?
I’ve been on Bisoprolol 2.5mg and Amlodipine 5mg for 18 day’s now after being on Ramipril for 3 weeks previous for erratic and high blood pressure and in the last few days my blood pressure is really low 95/63 with heart rate of 48, I’ve just gone into a warmer climate too, so I’m tired and don’t feel

Sharp pains in head
Am not usually a headachey sort of person although have been getting a few lately. Last night I experienced two very sharp pains to the right hand side of my head, rather like someone hammering a nail in. I was also woken up with a sharp pain in the early hours of this morning. I take Pradaxa and Felodipine

MUSCLE WEAKNESS AS SIDE EFFECT OF LISINOPRIL
I have been on Lisinopril for some 3 years now. Before then, I was using Amlodipine to control my Blood pressure. The Doctor said Lisinopril is good because it protects the organs particularly,the Kidney. However, for some six months now, I have had excruciating pain in my right bicep along with swelling

Amlodipine 5mg
I have recently been changed over from bisoprolol to amlodipine. All I have read is terrible horror stories about the dreadful side effects. I just wondered if anyone had anything positive to say about this medication, for example, yes maybe some palpitations and tiredness to begin with but do they

Amlodipine 5mg
Been on this dose for approximately 2 weeks now and I feel floored. Getting mild chest discomfort which was not there before and feeling anxious too. I also take 2.5mg Bisoprolol and 40mg Atorvastatin. I feel worse now than I did before I received my diagnosis. I know I need protecting but this can't
