Amlodipine pressure upper abdomen

Posted , 1 user is following.

so I started taking 5mg of amlodipine like 4 months ago for BP and really did not think much about it. About 2 months ago I started to have a pressure on my right side that was very dull but I could feel it. About 12 days ago that pressure stretched all the way across the top of my abdomen with sharp shooting pains happening all over my stomach at random places and times. This was kind of freaking me out a bit because that is where your liver, pancreas, and spleen are situated. I went off the pill 2 days ago and the pressure has almost gone away with only like 10 percent remaining. it almost felt like my organs were swelling up inside of me and pushing out... freaky feeling for sure. Oddly I have not lost my appetite or had any other real issues. Anyone else have these weird symptoms? Mine seemed a little different then the bloated stomach I keep reading about.. it was more like bloated abdomen above the stomach with a bunch of pressure. I even started having a pain when you pushed on my left side about where the top of my stomach and bottom of the spleen are but that has gone completely away after 2 days removed from this ridiculous drug.
