Is there a blood pressure medication that doesn't dilate blood vessels?

Hi Sophie OK did you discuss this with your GP if not you need to, there mostly really understanding, or your chemist, they know more than GPs about medication, 5mg is a low dose so possibly your BP's not that high anyway

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, there are also beta blockers.

'Some people develop cool hands and feet when taking beta-blockers. This is because they can narrow (constrict) small blood vessels and reduce the circulation to the skin of the hands and feet.'

But certain types of CCB/BB are for certain conditions, this is really a conversation you need to have with the GP or pharmacist and then the GP.

Patients with rosacea are more likely than others to have increased cholesterol and high blood pressure according to a report published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

Discuss with your doctor the possibility of taking potassium sparing water pills or beta-blockers that are better recommended for rosacea, instead of calcium channel blockers.

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker I think? I believe one of the side effects is flushing in the face.  Could you not ask your dr for an alternative medication.

When I was first put on BP meds I specifically asked NOT to have Amlodipine as I did not want to stop eating grapefruit. She gave me Ramipril instead which worked but gave me a nasty cough so I was then put on Losartan with no side effects. I still take the same medication.
