Got appointment with GP
I’ve taken all of your advice about swollen legs and amlodipine, spoke to my Dr’s surgery and my Gp wants to see me face to face. I hope he can change my meds or water meds, then I won’t have to cut my jeans at the bottom as they’ve become to tight !!!! Not sure the world is ready for me in my shorts

Amlodipine puffy legs
I’ve put a message on here before at some point but not sure I asked the right question. I’ve had my amlodipine increased, my lower legs felt tight, now I’ve increased surprise!!!! It feels a bit worse. Is this something that goes away after time once your body gets used to it or do I need to speak

Amlodipine eyes
Hi everyone, I hope you are keeping safe. Does anyone know about Amlodipine and eye sight pressure problems. I had been taking 5mg but now 10mg to replace Ramipril

Chest pain
I hope you don’t think this is a really silly question but for my chest pain I use the GTN spray on top of all the meds, here comes the silly bit..... I know you need to go to hospital after a few sprays of GTN but I thought I saw a post on here that a hot water bottle can help with the pain, so would

Lercanidipine - anyone have any experience with it?
Have just been taken off amlodipine because of swelling of the ankles/lower leg, setting the area on the leg damaged by cellulitis off and swelling in two fingers. Doc has put me on Lercanidipine to lower my bp. Am also on Apixaban. It was on this forum that I read about these side effects with amlodipine

Irregular heart rate with Amlodipine
Dr. changed my medication from Losartan HCTZ because of too many negative side effects. Now taking 5mg Amlodipine for past several weeks. Since starting Amlodipine have been getting occasional readings of irregular heart rate when I take my blood pressure - I can feel them, as well as palpitations.

Chinese food ingredients
So the first time I was diagnosed of high blood pressure I had eating Chinese food I experienced pain in my chest. I ignored it first time and went and ate the same food about three times I'll experience chest pain. So I finally said it has to be something in the food. So my NP puts me on Amlodipine

Amlodipine increase
Hi Recently had my amlodipine increased and my lower legs/ankles feel really tight, has anyone else had the same problem as me or just a coincidence?

Changing medication.
I have been on Amlodipine for 2 months and suffered with lots of side effects. The GP has now stopped it and prescribed Ramipril. How has anyone else got on with Ramipril?

Feeling trapped
After suffering chest pains that now appear to be completely un heart related I spent a couple of nights in hospital with 1 night in cardio care whilst they did tests ... they came back with a heart flutter that I've had for years (when I deep sleep on my back) and have decided to medicate me on this
