amlodipine and swelling
I’m at stage 5 ckd and I recently started amlodipine 10mg and my feet and ankle swell. My question is what does someone else at stage 5 take for blood pressure. I’ll be going to my nephrologist soon and i’m going to ask him what else I can take for blood pressure. Just wanted to know some other names

New to amlodipine
Similar experience, I was prescribed amlodipine in addition to losartan as my bp was 'up'.Tbh felt more than a bit unsteady for quite a while on it, but persevered and after a few weeks 'felt' normal again, with bp reducing to 130/75. That was a few months ago, everything fine since.

update after fourth ablation
Appointment with EP yesterday gave the thumbs up to cut out the flecainide. Not needed as have not had any blips since a quick reset (cardioversion) in April after the fourth ablation in March. Besides, the flecainide is causing wide qrs so it’s becoming more problematic than helping. Anyone had problems

amlodipine and Candesartan
been taking Candesartan 10mg for years which controlled my BP well with little side effects. Recently a BP check was too high so it was increased to 16 then 24 but I had horrible side effects so reduced back to 16. BP not lowered at all in fact went higher and now been prescribed Amlodipine to take along

Symptoms and possible colon cancer?
At least 10 yrs ago I had a primary physician tell me I most likely have IBS. My bowel movements were always large and I always thought how in the world can a women produce such long logs in a BM. Three months ago in June, I spent two days in the hospital with what the doctors diagnosed as Hyponatremia

Microvascular Disease / Syndrome X
Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have chest pain/discomfort most days and am very restricted in what I can do. I get breathless and tightness in my chest when I try to do things that most people would take for granted, including light housework, light gardening, lifting/pushing/pulling most things heavier

Meds side effects
Hello, I'm about a month in of taking Ramipril and Amlodipine both 10mg and my question is do the side effects come and go? When I first started I had dizziness and heavy arms which passed after a couple of weeks but seem to have come back. Wonder if this is normal or not really. Thank you 😊

Advice please
Hello everyone, On my last post I asked if I could have Hashimoto's from my test results as I already have another autoimmune condtion called Psoriasis. I have many of the symptoms associated with Hypo or Hashimotos. Some of you said it was unlikely because of the antibody tests, but also mentioned

AMLODIPINE
Since starting taking amlodipine I have a big problem at night, needing to urinate every 1.5 to 2 hours. Does anyone else have this problem.

LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
A somewhat new development for me has me wondering if there could be any relationship to our illness, so I'm seeking comments. My Blood Pressure has been dropping over time, and I did lose some weight in the last year, but I find it hard to imagine its because of the weight. One year ago I was 254

High BP ongoing
Thank you again to all those people who have posted with reassurance and advice.

Hi has anyone tried Hawthorn tablets for high blood pressure
Hi was put on amlodipine 5mg. I took first one at night. Didn't sleep at all also racing mind. Changed to taking on Morning side effects even worse dizziness shortness of breath panic attack. Felt very unstable on feet, I stopped them. I have decided to try and sort out my BP with diet and exercise.

Amlodipine in morning and Ramipril at night?
I have just yesterday been prescribed 5mg Amlodipine on top of the 5mg of Ramipril I’ve been taking. The GP didn’t specify over the phone if I take them both in the morning (I have been taking my BP tablet in the morning since I started 5 years ago) or to separate them out? I have read that taking them
