Hi, Lybrate user, your bp is almost normal due to administration of hypertensive medication, only and withdrawal of medication might shoot your bp, up ,further.
Always, be in touch with your physician in this regards before holding amlodepin.
Take care.

Amlodipine induced pedal edema usually takes some time to resolve. It depends on how much edema was there on first hand. But still there are something’s that should be checked out at least considering patient is known hypertensive. Get s.creat, potassium, sodium done. This is bare minimum. Review with reports.

Better way is to consult local doctor and have a check up. He will prescribe appropriate locally available medicines. Change of BP medicine has to be with check up and doctor's prescription.

make a date to quit. Tell family friends of your resolve. Keep away from frients who take tobacco. Avoid situations in which are more prone for chewing tobacco. can use nicotine replacement patch/ gum to avoid nicotine withdrawal symtoms.
