I know its was amlodipine!

Hi Nigel

The best advice is to see a Functional Medicine Doctor. They treat the root cause and not the symptoms. In some cases, hip can be caused by electrolyte deficiencies, adrenal fatigue and a bunch of other things. People don't have hip because they are deficient in prescription drug.

Hope this helps.

I take hydrochlorothiazide it's a deretic it causes dry eyes redness burning people think I'm on drugs or drinking all the time because my eyes are red

I have not tried any of the deretic I don't think that this is the problem I've been on these for years nonetheless I firmly believe that it is caused by my blood pressure medicine Carvedilol amlodipine plus I'm on warfarin . Anything will interact with blood thinner

My husband is also 58 yrs old and is in pretty good shape. His blood pressure has been pretty high...170/104.

The doctor prescribed 5mg of Amlodopine and he's also taking 20 mg of propanolol twice a day. He took the Amlodopine for two days only. He has been sleeping for 5 days and counting. He is very sensitive to medication, but I'm really concerned. He says he feels like he's going to die because he just can't wake up. I read a lot of people saying that they are tired or just can't sleep at all, but I haven't read anything where they are sleeping for days. Like I said, he stopped take the medication after 2 days because of this problem. He also says he can't remember anything.

Sorry to hear of the problems you have been having with amlodipine.  I have been taking it for 2 years, 10mg a day. I haven't had any side effects at all.  My blood pressure fell (with the addition of ramipril 10mg and a diuretic) to average 104/65, which seems to have stopped a major vascular problem I was having. Our reactions to drugs vary, if amlodipine is a problem try another - with medical advise.

I am 80 years old with diabetic 2 .  cholesterol and HB  158/60  and  low PULSE  rate 40/48 this week end spend in hospital  A&E , had exhausting test (cholesterol-sugar-ECG-BP-scanner) i was told all is fine ,but for LOW PULSE?

i am on  Atorvastatin  20 mg , Metformin 500mg, Perindipril 4mg and AMLODIPINE 10mg i feel very tired , depressed I ache all over and have no go in me at all. the hospital told me to go home and asked me to came back on the 9th october to be fitted with the holter ECG for 24 hours. meanwhile ,my husband checks my bp everyday and my sugar, today all was ok but my pulse was below 40 ??? has any body taking AML has had a low pulse problem ??

A study on the internet  NIH  concluded that Amlodipine / Norvasc does NOT affect pulse rates. Goggle this and read the study..since this site doesn't like embedding links. Again, this study @40 people showed NO changes in pulse..which is a good thing , I guess. ? Check your other Meds ..

Best Wishes and take care..

I've just found this thread. I was on nifedipine successfully for years but because the regular brand that I tolerated best became unavailable and a generic alternative caused terrible side effects with wildly variable blood pressure, I asked to try amlodipine. It was bad for the first week on 10mg, pounding heartbeat, BP sky high, feeling hot and dizzy but I agreed to persevere. Quite suddenly, the side effects diminished and my BP came down to an acceptable level. I thought all was well but, a few days later, I had the day from Hell which started with the side effects waking me up in the night. Pounding heartbeat, raised heartrate, terrible weakness, spells of nausea, dizziness, brain fog; at one point I wondered how it could be that I felt I hadn't the strength to lie in bed. An urgent appointment with the doctor and he took me off the tablets 3 days ago. I'm still getting the side effects in the mornings but they slowly reduce as the day goes on. Hopefully, as the days pass, this will continue to improve. I'm happy to have found this thread because I was seriously wondering whether something else was wrong and my confidence has been shattered. I've been referred for a 24-hour Holter monitor and when that has been done, we'll have to see what the best way forward is to keep my BP under control without this drug.
