Hypertension
I have lymphoedema in my left leg and wear full length compression. My GP wants to prescribe Amlodipine for mild hypertension. I note that a side effect is swollen ankles and this does concern me greatly. Any advice please. Thank you

Hello, I developed Tinnitus last November after a cocktail of Atorvastatin, Amlodipine and Felodipine. Symptoms slowly worsening during the course of this year. My surgery insisted Atorvastatin was not part responsible and advised it could help with tinnitus symptoms. In desperation I restarted

Felodipine
Hi, I've recently had my BP med switched from Lercanidipine to Felodipine. I'm finding Felodipine is giving me bad headaches, has anyone else found this an issue and if so did anything help? I'm unable to take Ibuprofen as I'm asthmatic, the only thing which helped was Syndol and that's not available

what next for me?
hello, apart from being 76 there is absolutely none of the usual reasons my BP is high. And only in the last year, before that I never had a reading above 135/80. Am on amlodipine 5mg which has reduced some scarily high readings to an average of 150/95. Have just sent a weeks worth of readings to

Later my cardiologist became concerned that.my dosage of bisoprolol was too high 7.5 mg and reduced it to 5. My blood pressure became high again and I was prescribed amlodipine again. This did

BP tablets and erection
Hi all. Currently on 5mg ramipril and 10 mg amlodipine . So far not really reducing BP. No real side affects apart from tiredness and more worrying it is affecting my libido and ability to achieve erection. Anyone else suffer like this? Any solution? Could tolerate if BP was coming down.

Confused by what’s happened (54)
Hello community. This is my first post. I’m 54 and last Tuesday was admitted to A&E with a mild heart attack. (Does mild make it any less of a thing?..) 3 blood tests showed troponin of 16, then 23 & 23, and I understand that means something did happen, even though all 4 ECGs looked ok. I was

Amlodipine side effects
I've been on amlodipine since Jan and recently started having slight blurred vision. I see this is one of the possible side effects, but I thought it would have happened before now if it was that, but I also have blepharitis which it could be causing it. Any thoughts?
