Experiences with

Telmisartan / Amlodipine

Hi all, I'm a 27-year-old male who underwent a second open-heart surgery 7 weeks ago. I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve, and initially, in 2012, I had my first surgery to replace the valve with a tissue one, along with part of the aortic root. This time around, that valve had calcified (along

I'm fairly new to this forum and I already feel at home. It's very refreshing to find an online community whose members are so kind, understanding and generous. By way of introduction, I'm a 69-year-old male living in Connecticut. My Afib history is as follows: Diagnosed with Afib by PCP - 8/9/

I was put on 5mg amlodipine 6 weeks ago for high blood pressure. Within a week, I noticed muffled hearing + mild (but managable) tinnitus in my left ear.

Hi all. Hope all good. Never thought how all the different medication would affect me mentally. In the last two years I have had such a change in my health. Having already being closely checked for enlarged Aorta which is under control. Started hydroxychloroquine Nov 2022. Then May 2023 went on

Anyone else experienced breathlessness since going on amlodipine? I’m a reasonably fit 63 year old but I noticed that I couldn’t manage to maintain my normal gym routine after about three months on one a day 5mg of this drug. My statistics dropped by over 20%. I’m breathless going uphill, or walking

Hello, I would like to thank you all for your very helpful and interesting replies to my previous post. I have not started taking the statins yet, but I heard back from my eye consultant yesterday and he assured me I was ok to take the statins and blood pressure tablets with my current eye medication

Hello I started taking Amlodipine on 10/19/2024 and about two days ago I started having really bad trouble sleeping. It’s to the point where I’ve barely even slept at all. As of right now I also have a viral ear infection so it’s making my ears and my head hurt but I also think it’s due to the Amlodipine

Hi I was diagnosed with NTG recently. I have hypertension and have been on amlodipine for 5 years. I have just come across an article of amlodipine being linked with glaucoma. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me the most up to date info about this?

Hi Everyone.... Firstly I would like to say thank you to all the members whose posts I have found invaluable. I've had 'Poly' for 18 months now and am on 6.5 mg of Prednisolone. As you all know the first couple of days after diagnosis the pain and stiffness melts away and you feel amazing, full of optimism

Thanks to all of you lovely people, who answered my post about my Blood Pressure, now I’ve been put on Amlodipine. It’s reassuring to see all these replies. It helps a lot.

Hello, 56 year old male, overweight, had somewhat elevated BP in the 145/85 for years, just recently it made a quick jump up to the 165/95 range (and popped up to 185/103 at one point). Is it normal for it to jump quite quickly like that? NHS are giving me 5mg Amlodipine, but the Dr said it was just

I have been having episodes of very high blood pressure. 180 systolic up to 190 . I’ve now been given 5mg of Amlodipine once a day. It is now day 5 and my blood pressure is now fluctuating between a systolic of 111 up to 124, having usually been between 130 and 145 before, apart from the 3 times it

Many thanks again for the comments from my original post a week ago. So the feed back from my Cardiologist is that I can stop the Amlodipine (was 5mg) altogether but keep an eye on the blood pressure and work with my GP to reduce the Bisoprolol from 3.75 mg twice a day to whatever we feel comfortable

Hi following on from my previous thread about passing out it happened again 2 weeks ago. This time it felt a bit different as I was very confused beforehand, although I was in my bedroom I didn't know where I was or how to get out, I fumbled around for a while and even walked into the wardrobe and was

I developed gynecomastia of my left breast. It's a benign enlargement with associated tenderness. I have been able to pinpoint it to my taking of amlodipine for a few years. After stopping amlodipine for 2 months the gynecomastia completely resolved. Has anyone had a similar side effect after being on
