re- lump in throat
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi everyone, I have been feeling like there's something stuck in the back of my throat for about a week now, also my ears feel blocked like a pounding sensation in them, my Dr looked and said there was no infection in either my throat or ears but gave me beconase nasal spray which has made no difference, the ear thing comes and goes, I have slight high BP ie, around 145/70 I take 10mg of amlodipine daily, and to fully explain everything, I am (or was) a very active love life 63 year old woman, but for the last year I have been housebound because of severe osteoarthritis in both hips I have been taking naproxen and tramadol like they were sweeties, but I have now stopped all pain meds because I could no longer put up with the side effects, like over posts I have read on here, I have nothing but time to sit here and worry about cancer of the throat! I realise I'm stressed but this wweird feeling in my throat and ears is driving me crazy, so glad I found this site, any advice would be welcome.

Thanks for your comments, I too have grandchildren but they are in TO , anyway I have been on the amlodipine forum and it seems people are just stopping taking it without consulting a Dr. But they feel better,so I will try halfin the dose and go see my Dr next week,
Feel better soon,
Good health to you

I would not want your blood pressure to suddenly rise and make you ill. Explain what you have found out and see if they will agree to half the dose or prescribe an alternative tablet. Mostly I have found that doctors don't think that they cause side effects except for ankle swelling. I have not changed or stopped mine as yet but my doctor is considering it. I will ask when I next see her. If you read my first post you will see why I think the amlodipine has caused a mild problem which has got worse although I can't say for sure. By the way where are you when you your grandchildren are in T O? Good luck let me know how it goes.
