Experiences with

Procardia

I have been on lisinopril, amlodipine, Procardia, and Cardezem for a year now, and nothing is changing my BP.

Lisinopril, Procardia, and Amlodipine. But, looking them up, there is no "salt craving" side effect. I also have new abdominal pains upper left and right quadrants, and GI issues. Dry mouth, and eyes too. With these new symptoms, This just keeps getting better.

Procardia 80 mg's daily Lisinopril 5 mg's daily, Two of which I had been taking in lower dose before this My kidneys were compromised, hence why I posted "craving Salt".I have to do a 24 hour urine weekly.......I now have a heart arrhythmia, rare one,I will get the diagnostic name later, caused by this

I now am on so many BP medications Amlodipine, procardia, and lisinopril, I guess myself on which way is up. This is a huge learning curve for me. The great cardiologist I see does not just see my heart, he see's all my other conditions to.

The Rheum. put me on Procardia 60 mg, while keeping me on Vasotec 40 mg for a suspected connective tissue disease. All digits began healing and eventually within the following year, I was able to stop wrapping them. Procardia XL reduced to 30 mg, Vasotec reduced to 20 mg daily.

Began taking Procardia XL 60 mg. while continuing to take vasotec, and Synthroid for thyroid. Was recovering by the time the school year began. Winter arrived and with it terrible weather. Had trouble with my fingers, face and feet, especially during days with playground duty.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin), Levaquin (levofloxacin), tetracycline, doxycycline, and Septra or Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim) •Diuretics, such as Lasix (furosemide) and Hydrodiuril (hydrochlorothiazide) •Benadryl (diphenhydramine) •Cardiac medications, such as diltiazem, quinidine, amiodarone and Procardia

The next week I went back and my pressure was doing slightly better but we want it down so we added Procardia (I think 30mg; not sure) extended release. This BP med is another beta blocker.
