Unexpected rise in BP
I have mild / moderate angina and have been prescribed amlodipine to get my blood pressure down. After about three weeks of the medication my BP was coming down quite steadily but then I got a cold virus and it's right up there again. Is that to be expected?

Is my CKD stage 2 has been delayed or false positive?
Over two weeks ago, I has been diagnosed with CKD stage 2, with eGFR of 82 and existence of both proteinuria 1g/day and albuminuria with ACR around 108mg/g. Today, I retested the lab and consulted another GP and the lab showed that protein in my urine is negative, albumin in urine is 10mg/L, ACR is less

Anxiety 1 year after CABG
Hi I had a double CABG July 2018 when I was 50. Initially everything seemed fine afterwards and I had very little pain or discomfort. Since about February this year I have had more discomfort from my chest and left shoulder. Sometimes I can tell it is muscular but sometimes I have anxiety that it could

Simvastatin
I am 76 years old and have taken Simvastatin 20mg and Amlodipine 5mg for 16 years, and Bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg for 5 years - prescribed due to elevated Systolic blood pressure only. The affects that may be caused by Simvastatin are muscle cramps in lower legs for 16 years that have increased over time

Amlodipine and Raynauds, fluid retention etc
I was prescribed Amlodipine for Raynauds even though I always have low blood pressure. They don't seem to do anything .

Varying Blood Pressure
Five years ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I was prescribed amlodipine. At the time I was employed in a high pressure job but I was told that I would probably have to keep taking the medication. Since I retired my blood pressure reduced considerably so in consultation with my GP I stopped

Stent pain
Following recent cabg surgery I had further problems and a stent was put into one of the grafts 2 weeks ago. I continue to have chest pain so returned to A&E this week on advice of GP but the consultant is sure it’s stent pain. So why didn’t the cardiac consultant give me pain killers while I was in

Amlodipine Side Effects
I’ve been taking 10mg Amlodipine for almost 2 years now and still suffering from swollen ankles and feet. Sometimes, especially when I’m wearing socks that stop at ankle height or clothes that might rub against my ankles, it causes very sore, red rash that can spread up my leg. I’ve seen swollen ankles

Atorvastatin and Amlodipine
Hi folks .. I have been taking Amlodipine 10mg for years without any problems. Recently I was referred to a consultant cardiologist for possible Angina. I also have raised cholesterol (6.6) so he prescribed Atorvastatin 40mg.. In the leaflet it says not to take this statin with Amlodpine as it interacts

How long does amlodipine take to work ?
My gp has started me on 5mg of amlodipine for suspected angina. I’ve not had any actual investigations for this yet although my symptoms are highly suggestive of it. He didn’t tell me an awful lot about it but reading on the nhs website it says it can take some time for it to kick in and in fact symptoms

Is joint pain a side effect of Amlodipine?
My doctor prescribed Amlopidine 5mgs three weeks ago to lower my blood pressure. Initial side effects of nausea and dizziness are greatly improved but I am now experiencing joint pains in my fingers, wrists etc. Could this be related to this drug?

Total confusion with BP meds
Hi, had blood pressure meds for some years, had settled on Candesartan 4mg and Felodipine 5mg for many years, then after some extreme personal situations and equally extreme health issues my BP started getting high. Doc put me up to 10 mg Felodipine and then increased the Candesartan to 16 mg. This helped

Shortness of breath and wheezing :(
Good Day, I have been having shortness of breath and wheezing for about 10 months now. It started with heart palpitations and headaches. I went to my doctor and he put me on amlodipine 10mg. I eat healthy and exercise 4-5 times per week and fit for my age. I thought that I could cure my blood pressure
