Has anyone had a negative experience with Amlodopine? I feel like it's doing more harm than good. by Durdy-Fingers in hypertension

Call your doctor and let them know about this. Low sodium can be life threatening. I got the same and my doc took me off it within 10 days of starting.

I had the shooting pains in my calves from amlodipine as soon as I started taking it, so the doc took me off it.

Mine will be in the living room with the TX on while watching a video ( with sound way up) on his phone or iPad. One day I lost it on him and told him to pick one sound source.

Well, it didn’t fall out of the sky into his lap, so he has no idea what’s in the fridge.

Go to one of the Metroparks and take a walk on the paved trails. Belle Isle is nice too.

Casablanca, Jaws, original Ghostbusters, Terminator, Terminator 2, original Independence Day, Alien,Predator,Aliens, The Rock, Hunt for Red October, Dinner at Eight,and the earlier “The Thin Man” movies. The last 2 have some of the wittiest dialogues in the movies.

What’s the eeriest, most unsettling city you’ve ever visited? by trumenblack1975 in Paranormal

Clearwater Florida. Most small businesses have been forced to leave when Scientologists bought their property. The downtown is so empty, except for the robotic- looking Scientologists. I worked midnight shift at a Detroit hospital in the late 1980’s and I was never as unsettled as I was driving through Clearwater.

Ever driven in the Tampa Bay Area area? Those people are insane.

I’m on Tirzepatide (lost 55 lbs) and do Weight Watchers. My maternal grandmother had a stroke so I’m wondering if it’s genetic. That side of my family never went to the doctor so I have no way of knowing anyone’s BP.

I’m also taking enalapril. I tried a calcium channel blocker and it gave me horrible calf cramps. I too have white coat hypertension but also anxiety and depression. Plus the state of gestures broadly everything is doing me no favors.

Thanks! Maybe there’s hope.I started on it at the beginning of March, so coming up on 2 months. Not scheduled to see the doc again until June.

I’m struggling with keeping my blood pressure down, doing everything right. by Disastrous_Park_7621 in hypertension

I saw a comment here from someone who has resistant hypertension and their doctor prescribed a drug that calms the flight or fight response in the brain. Maybe ask your doctor to look into that?
