Amlodipine for Coronary Artery Disease Reviews
"I was first put on atenolol 50mg and nifedipine 20mg to treat my high blood pressure in 2018. Two years later, I started having chest pains and being overweight, so I decided to visit the doctors and did an ECG scan and other tests, only to find that the blood vessels are narrowed. The doctor changed my medication to Amlodipine 10mg, Propranolol 40mg three times a day, Aspirin 75mg, and Atorvastatin for 30 days, and later recommended just Amlodipine 5mg a day and Aspirin 75mg. For three years now, I can run."
"I was prescribed 10 mg Amlodipine to treat coronary artery spasm after 2 myocardial infarctions at 35 and 37 years. First came nausea, which lasted about 2 weeks, however, the chronic insomnia and horrific, extremely vivid nightmares began almost immediately and are still persisting even though I stopped taking it about 6 days ago. Another side effect I experienced was extremely stiff and sore feet - I thought I had developed painful arthritis overnight, and walking on them was horrible. I also experienced extreme fatigue all day every day, making it near impossible to care for my three children at home, who are all under school age. I thought I was losing my mind. Feeling a bit better every day. This was a very scary experience for me."
"Not sure if it's the meds but since starting on it my memory isn't so good, it feels like my brain is fuzzy and find it hard to concentrate. I am on it for Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)"
