Are you experiencing side effects from Amlodipine?
This is my second week and I feel weak in the morning feeling like throwing up and to the loo 5 to 6 time a night
My doctor give me a 5 mg. amlodipine and valsartan 80mg.
Oo
I am using 10,,,mg leg sweeping advice me
Yes , going to the loo all though the day and night
My father was taking this medicine for last thirty years and without any problem. He is now 92 years old.
Same medicine for 25 years! Oh boy!
I have been taking it for 15 years now and no problem for me 😁
I have taken 2.5 mg for 6 years! Should I keep taking it? No side effects you mentioned.
Thank you. These people are scaring the hell out of me!
After taking Amlodipine for several months, I went to
the dentist for my annual tooth cleaning. The hygienist would not do it. She said my gums were in bad condition! I never had a problem with my gums in seventy-three years. When I went to see the periodontist (gum dentist) his assistant told me they had several long-term patients who suddenly developed gum problems. Every one of them had started to take Amlodipine! I changed my blood pressure meds and my gums became healthy again. Only about 5% of people have gum issues on Amlodipine but it's good to know in case you are one of them, like me.
Thanks for sharing your experience, if you are interested here is a case study: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3118083/
Interesting! What medication did you change it to?

You're so right. I had those side effects. Some doctors get mad when you complain about Amlodipine and other medications. They think patients exaggerate. I read and do research on the medications.
I have been on amlodipine for 12 years I have been having problems with swollen feet, palpitations and painful muscle cramping for a few months. Thank you for this video I did not know my problems are a side effect of the medication. I will make an appointment with my doctor.
Thanks for sharing, good luck!
I used to take amlodipine, I never experienced side affects, doctor stopped medication because my blood pressure was under control.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Never bexperienced any changes or ill feelings on my body taking Amlodipine 10mg before. Its only now my feet swell usually in the afternoon.
How long did it take to get it under control an want you do to get it back normal
When i was taking Amlodipine it caused me to hold lots of water. I would hold as much as gallons at a time. Several times I went to the hospital and was given liquid lasix. I would usually drop at least 30 to 35 ponds of fluid in two days when the doctor took me off it I weighed 287 pounds. In three weeks i weighted 243 lbs. it maybe good for the heart but not when your drowning in your own body fluids

Loved learning about these hacks! Super helpful! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise! Greatly appreciated! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thank goodness for the very informative video I watched today.
I have been on that medication for maybe 15 years or more. Read the information leaflets about the side affect long time but forgot.
Just watched your video and can relate to many of those side effects, always feeling tired, sleepy, headache, no energy, leg cramps etc.
Your way of explaining, very simple easy to understand no hard medical words. You are very entertaining that makes my headache go away while watching,
Now you got a new subscriber, 😊.
Love the way you educate us all - you speak straight & direct-simple through our level of understanding- your illustration is very helpful - thanks for sharing your know how- pls stay& keep your ways

You are so lively, funny. and so simple. Your infos are the best so far, well explained. Keep it up!!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this enlightening video about Amlodipine..God bless you!
Thank you too, so nice of you.
Watch your potassium levels while on this medication. I’ve had two incidents of a spike in blood pressure. During the first, my son, who was visiting me when I became dizzy and felt like I would pass out, took me to the heart hospital where a series of tests were run. Results were all normal except for very low potassium levels. (Doctor ordered five potassium tablets, which quickly returned BP levels to normal.) I’ve since learned that some (all?) BP medications deplete minerals from the body.
I've been taking Amldopine for almost a year. I developed swollen feet on my left leg. Suddenly I stopped taking it and I started my previous medicine Hydrochlorothiazide. After a while my feet becomes normal. I've an appointment with my doctor at the end of this month and discuss the issue. Thank you for your lesson.
Tq dr. None of the doctors tell us about the side effect as u much. At least ur advise is sensible n beneficial to those who have been taken the tablet for a long period.
Appreciate your feedback, thank you.I am glad it was of some value.
Interesting info about AMLODIPINE! Thank you for sharing!
Any time!
Thank you so much. I have the swelling an k les dizziness, light headed. Always feeling unsteady.
Very well explained. Thanks for the info DOCTOR.

I had a bad allergic reaction to this drug and 1 other. I wouldn't chance trying another so I went cold Turkey, thought I was gonna leave this world, my heart was beating so fast but the Lord kept me here. Now on a directic/potassium pill.
What is that called?
Thank you Doc.for sharing this issue 🙏❤️🙏

You should never take a medication unless you are sure you know why you are being prescribed it. That is for your own safety.
All ways check out the side effects 👏 👌 🙌.

Hello Christine......
Thank you for this amazing explanation, very easy to understand. I haven't experienced this myself however I've had a few clients that were experiencing some of these symptoms! Thank you for the tips!
I really appreciate you checking the video out & your feedback!
I was put on 10mgs in the morning and i had all the side effects. I felt drunk for 2 weeks and it didn't improve. I took 5mgs at night and 5 in the morning and am much better now.
Im on amlodopine 5mg but i get palpitations and swollen ankles also on lisinopril 5mg.
Im 71.
Like your humor as you so capably deliver this important information.
Thank you for the great info.
You made me smile, maybe look a little younger! I've been taking this a few years now, and yes, my face does get rosy, but not easy to make me blush at my age, 73!
😀
@@ThinkYourHealth I like to make a fella's heart fluttert! Must tell my husband!
Love the graphics. I was on 5 mg and after 5 years with my BP under control, it increased to 224/150 and remained high for over 7 days. The MD refused to increase the dose. Working in healthcare myself, I was concerned, switched doctors and was able to get a dose of 7.5 mg. I have never had any side-effects. Your video helped see the hesitancy of the MDs to increase the dose. Thank you.
Thanks for your feedback, appreciated.
Thanks for explaining it very well.
You are welcome!Glad it was of value.
Thank goodness for the info doctor, may God's blessings on you always.
Great video! Helping people who take Almodipine!

After seven different doctors, in two different states, with no diagnosis, my son was finally referred to the Mayo Clinic. His symptoms were weight loss due to constant coughing, and choking, while eating. He continued to have the sensation that Food was trapped in his esophagus, even when it was not. We went to: an ENT, gastrointestinal doctors, and a neurologist. He had swallow studies, CT scans, and an EGD. No one could determine what was wrong with him. After getting to the Mayo Clinic, he was assigned to an actual team of physicians. Several different specialists in different areas. At the end of our 10th day there, he was diagnosed with a sensory disorder in his throat. What did they prescribe for him? Amlodipine! In seven weeks, after almost 2 years, he had relief! He took the medication for nearly 7 months. He was given permission to wean himself off. That was in early 2017. He has not had a single problem since then!
Interesting! Not a drug I have heard of before - always great to find out more! :)
Great.I am glad you learnt something.

Wow! Sounds like a Mediterranean diet could come in handy for helping to reduce high blood pressure. It's frightening to learn that people have these heart-type conditions. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I would recommend the Mediterranean diet.Here is a link to the trial showing this: link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1741-7015-11-207

Great explanation of how to reduce the side effects of amlodipine.
Thanks for your feedback.Appreciate your support.
Hello Dr Sno......
24/7 terrible depression (apathy, no motivation, no joy, loss of interest in my usual interests)
24/7 hot and cold flushes
24/7 absolutely shattered (even more so, than with my severe ME. and Fibromyalgia)
Cough and hoarse
Some favourite foods and drinks taste horrible
Zero appetite, resulting in a VERY poor diet
2 stone weight gain in the 2 yrs I've been on it, due to poor eating (see above, the severe depression and absolutely no appetite, so grazing on small snacks all the time, and comfort eating due to the depression!)
The taste changes and complete loss of appetite happened shortly after starting it, but the depression came on slower, and it is only in retrospect, and seeing the time line, that I am 90% sure that Amlodipine has caused this crippling depression.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the information. You have given me an explanation for what I have been experiencing
You are so welcome.
Yes I have heart palpitations ,chest pain waking up to pee and thank u for your info 🙂

Just started this medication 1 week ago. First few days I feel like I had a flu, some of the days I felt hot, sort of like if I had a fever, felt terrible. Now I’m having a bit of swollen ankles. I’m being patient as I just started it and will continue to monitor my side effects. I’m hoping it works out, I’m tired of looking for a good BP med, I’ve tried different types, and always so sensitive to meds 😑
Get off it
Thanks Doctor
Great information and education. Elinor. (nurse).
I have been on this for many years! I have never had any side effects!!!!!!!
Very good explanation!...I like it when a doctor simplifies medicine and medical terms because, patients will be able to understand ‘to a certain extent’ how to take their medicine for optimal results....Excellent!
I appreciate your feedback, thank you!

I also had bad swelling in my ankles and was not aware that of the side effects of taking 10mg of Amlodipine. I'm glad I watched this video.
Dr. You're absolutely right. AMLODIPINE has a lots of side effects. Right now I have been reducing the dose of all the pills I'm using for my problems of cardio-vasculaires, high blood, swelling ankles and itchy skins. Now, I'm feeling a little more fine. Though, I still maintain to have in possession the medication available in case of urgency.
I have not had sxs from Amlodipine, as far as I know. I do feel dizzy in morning on some days, upon arising, however. Thank you for your post!😊
Thanks Doctor.. much appreciated!
Any time, thanks for watching.
