New member curious about side effects
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hello there, I am a 47 year old female, obese (but am a member of weight loss group), hypertensive and taking Amlodipine 10 mg and Lisinopril 20 mg. I stumbled across this discussion group/website as I had looking on the net about psoriasis. After finding out that it can be caused by medication i.e "Amy" (my nickname for Amlodipine, I also tend to call Lisinopril "Lisa"). I had a little look regarding these medications and basically shocked as to the side effects not mentioned in the leaflets. Yes , I get itching, there have been times I had got REALLY flushed in the face, I tend to fall asleep a fair bit, ( to the point my husband had wondered if I was diabetic), my eyesight has got blurry , occasional numbness in my fingers, aching body , night time toilet trips. I had put it down to getting older, but the what I had been reading, had sure started to enlighten me. I had been on this "filth" for 4 years,( I had a car accident which gave me a day trip to the local hospital thanks a hypertensive crisis and I couldn't go home until my BP was low enough for the nurse!), my GP seems to want to avoid seeing patients even after COVID. So, I have to chat to him on the phone when my prescription needs to be reviewed. Sorry for the long and rambling post, I thought I would put a little background about myself,
