norvasc

Avatar f tn I'm a 64 yrs. old woman who used to take Diovan 320 mg. & Toprol 50 mg. for my B.P. My B.P. readings was okay but my Doctor discontinued the Toprol because my heart rate usually on the 40's. I am currently taking Norvasc 5mg. with the Diovan 320 mg. So far, my B.P. readings is very good, 110/70. But eversince I started the Norvasc, my left leg is swelling and it is becoming worst. I'd like to ask my Doctor to discontinue the Norvasc.
Avatar m tn I asked him if there was a medication that is commonly combined with Atenolol, and he suggested the generic for Norvasc, 5mg. So I've been taking 5mg on top of my Atenolol for about a week, and I've actually noticed that my blood pressure has been a bit more elevated, not to mention I feel a bit crappy in general and anxious. I'm not sure if this is my body attempting to balance itself with the Norvasc but I never thought that it would make my blood pressure worse.
Avatar n tn Hi. I take 5mg Norvasc with 100 mg of a beta blocker(Lopressor) and Isosorbide (Nitrate) and Tricor every morning without any problems. But I am confused as to why Norvasc and Cardizem. They are both calcium channel blockers. Maybe someone can enlighten me on that. Have you talked to your pharmacist about any concerns?
Avatar f tn It was decided to add Norvasc 5mg INSTEAD of Nifedipine, since Norvasc was used/tolerated well in the past. Began taking Norvasc 5mg along with Lorsartan 100mg and Atenolol 25mg (all 1x daily) approximately 3 days ago, and the blood pressure is still running extremely high. This morning reading was 186/85 and tonight 176/110!!! Worried that this can be dangerous. What should be done? How long until the BP goes to a "normal" range? Does the doctor need to increase the Norvasc dosage?
Avatar f tn My concern is that I had retinal detachment surgery in March of 2008 and have not had any pain until I started taking Norvasc 5mg. daily. Is this a side effect that is normal and will it subside or is it a reason to discontinue this drug?

Avatar m tn 9 170 but my blood pressure is always fine at home i do suffer from anxiety but it goes thru the roof when i see a doctor or go to the ER i am 27 years old, i have to see a doc once a week for another condition, but it never fails my pulse and BP rises very high in doctors settings, once i come home both my pulse and pressure is fine again , my worry and problem is how much damage is being done to my heart when my blood pressure spikes like this once a week?
Avatar n tn Can this be artificially high because of medications taken for other problems i.e. high blood pressure (5mg Norvasc, 12.5mg Hydrochlorothiazide, .1mg clonodine 2x daily), hormone replacement (premarin 1.25), anit-depressant (150xl Wellbutrin), sleep-aid (Ambien) and Prevacid?

Avatar f tn For 3yrs I had controlled HT w/Lisin/HCTZ 20/25 & Norvasc 5mg. I was a very healthy 44yo Fe, 4'10 110lbs. In Jan 07 my ins co said they wanted me to switch from Norvasc to Lotrel because they were "the same". My Dr kept me on the Lisin/HCTZ & added Lotrel 5/40. 12 days later I collapsed. At the ER my BP was 56/48, I was discharged 3 hrs later at 80/54. Things haven't been the same since.

Avatar m tn I get a quick flash of bright light in the outer corner of my vision in my right eye. It is very fast and only happens sometimes. Usually while or after watching TV. Female, 54 yo. Wear glasses for distance (nearsighted). Currently have hypertension. Treatment is Norvasc 5mg.
1352638 tn?1277025232 1/4 of a 2mg tab is not really that much. 1/2 of a 5mg tab does little or nothing to me. It certainly doesn't make me feel tired at all. It is a low dose. Nothing to worry about as I there are people on much much higher doses. If your anxiety is that bad have a word with your doctor and maybe he will put you on something better. I just see it as too low a dose for high anxiety levels. I'm no doctor though. We all react in different ways to different doses. It may be enough for you.
Avatar f tn s what you meant, would be a tiny piece of that 25mg tab because .5mg is 1/2 of 1mg. If you meant 5mgs, well then, that would be 1/5th of the 25mg tab. I don't know any Doctor that would tell you to break a pill like that.
Avatar n tn I've been taking amlodipine besylate (norvasc) for about 1 and a half months. For the last couple of weeks I've been experiencing very strong anxieties, panic attacks, and a totally sleepless night. I'd been on testim for years now as well and wonder if either one or a combination can be causing them.

Avatar m tn s office twice and my blood pressure would go from 130/80 to 180/100. Give it that I also have anxiety problems also. At first the doctor put me on Norvasc 5mg and I constantly felt dizzy 24/7. The doctor kept on contributing it to anxiety but I never had this issue before the meds. She took me off of it for a week to see if the dizziness would stop and the dizziness stopped. Then they put me on Verapamil 180mg...no dizziness for 2 months and then boom dizziness came back 24/7.

767538 tn?1276575320 It's now Monday and I took my last Methadone 5mg pill 3 days ago. I Feel tired, yawning a lot, tearing up and constant headache but nothing too bad yet. I have been on Meth for about a year to treat chronic pain and it worked the best for me but had no idea it would be so hard to quit. I have been on 30-40mg and have tapered down to 5mg. I tried to stop once before but the W/Ds were just too much.

Avatar f tn They were diagnosed with coronary arterial spasms and were given nitro and Norvasc. The chest pains continued every few days and they were given Imdur. The imdur caused extreme dizziness and near fainting along witht he worst head ache and a "foggy" feeling. The patient was told by one cardiologist:"we dont know much about this and you may just have to love with it". The patient is 42 with no smoking, normal to low BP (normal of 100/60 for them) , in great shape.
Avatar n tn I was on Norvasc but my Dr. changed to Cardizem, I have trouble swalloing and the Norvasc dissolved in my mouth quickly to make it easier to take, the Cardizem Er is a big capsule that is hard to take, should I ask my Dr to go back on Norvasc?? they both seem to work equally well....
