If you are afe below 40 metoprolol is very effective. Age over 60 you can try higher dose amlodipine if bp uncontrolled.

Probably too strong medicine. Full effect of amlodipine will come after 30 days, your BP may become below 100 next month due to too much medicine. Suggest stop medicine. Measure BP only once every month on fixed date after resting for ten minutes, start medicines if BP 160 on 2 occasions, or if always above 140.

Asked for male, 45 years old from Kannur

I have been taking amlodipine 5 mg for past 15 years, when I check now my left kidney has oxalate stone which is 10 mm and which had only around 4 mm before 15 years. Is amlodipine 5 mg increase stone? Do I need to change blood pressure tablet?

Dr. Aditya Prasad Padhy92%(57 ratings)

Very unlikely the cause may be by amlodipine, rather change your daily lifestyle like drinking adequate water daily, no or less junks, more of fibers and less carb diets. That will help you a lot. Also get one physician consultation regarding hypertension any change of dosages/ compositions.

What to do, I mean is there any major differences between them i.e amlodipine and s-amlodipine.

Little bit difference. Side effects like swelling over legs is less with S-Amlodipine, Also efficacy is little superior of S-Amlodipine but if her BP is controlled with Amlodipine you can continue with that.

You can take both together in combination at the same time and record your bp and pulse rate so that any alteration can be done if required.

Check your pulse when you feel lightheaded. This can be done using an electronic blood pressure machine, or simply feeling pulsations on your wrist. If your pulse is 60 or more, you should be alright.

Chronic constipation may cause straining and hard, lumpy stools. You may also feel bloated, feel full more easily, or have a decreased appetite. Fatigue, too, is different for everyone. Fatigue that's persistent and lacks an apparent cause is different than just being tired.

U should not skip any medication particularly blood pressure medications. Poor bp control will lead to rapid progression of kidney disease and also can lead to other catastrophes like heart attack and brain stroke. It is better to avoid fasting and continue medications as advised.

It is normal for BP to fluctuate. At time HTN during pregnancy resolves post pregnancy. You can try staying off medications for a 5-7 days and then get your BP rechecked. If it is normal no need for BP medication. Also stay in follow up of a cardiologist for BP management. For palpitations you can get a ECG done when you feel fast heart rate or a 24 HR holter and consult a cardiologist.
