silly question possibly. My doctor has change my dose of amlodipine from 5mg to 10mg. I have to pick it up later. I have some 5mg left, could I just double up on the 5mg as I normally take my pills in the morning rather than wait for the chemist to open. I know, silly question. (I know you can’t give

Vivid dreams and nightmare
Hi.Does anyone else find themselves plagued by vivid dreams and nightmares? Ive been told Amlodipine can cause them but ive been taking it for ages now a few years at least. Could it be bisoprolol, prasugrel or Atorvastatin interacting? Or one of those themselves? Ive only been taking them a couple

Possible stroke ?
Hi everyone I was discussing medications issues with surgery pharmacist yesterday. He asked why I was taking Clopidogrel (I am having serious oseophagal spasms) then said oh yes possible stroke. I am stunned no one has mentioned this to me. As far as I knew my GP moved me from aspirin to Clopidogrel

amlodipine
I am just out of hospital having suffered an atypical heart attack (no pain) and have been put on Losartan to lower blood pressure. Unfortunately it is dropping diastolic pressure to much. Doctor wanted to try a ca channel blocker and I think I read on this site that some people were able to take amlodipine

BP readings way out of kilter!
Newbie here so please be gentle if my query is in the re-inventing the wheel category. I've had elevated BP for many years and have been on Amlodipine and Irbesartan for 5+ years. I was called into my GP surgery yesterday morning for a BP check. The clinician checked it manually and got a reading

Amlodipine Fatigue

Enalapril finally brought it under control but after about a week I developed the side effect of a really bad, persistent cough. My GP decided to

New blood pressure drugs
Hi all I have had a lot of issues with BP meds currently on Felodipine 7.5mg and in general they are by far the best I have used.

atrial fibrillation diagnosed 2019. I Take Bisoprolol 2.5, eliquis, , Amlodipine and venlaxafine for anxiety. Tiredness seems to be getting worse which of the above could be causing it?

Amlodipine Unwanted Side Effects
Several years ago, I was put on my first ever medication for High Blood Pressure, AMLODIPINE. One of the unwanted side-effects of it was abnormal chest pain on the left side of the chest. I even had to get a GP to check me out, but he said that there was nothing wrong. Eventually, my own GP phased
