Have you used Valsartan for treatment of hypertension patients in high risk patients? Are you aware about the combination Valsartan and Amlodipine to treat hypertension in high risk patients? How its is better than Telmisarton and Amlodipine combination?
Made a mistake. I meant to say, my feet and ankles will swell and not my legs.
I have recently been prescribed Amlodipine-Benaz 5/10 MG capsules for treatment of hypertension. However, my resting pulse rate has consistently been in the 90's and increasing into the 100's at time, so I have been prescribed Carvedilol to help control the heart rate. My question is, doesn't Carvedilol control hypertension as well...Why should I be taking carvedilol in addition to amliodipine?
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker indicated for hypertension. The S form of amlodipine is said to be responsible for dilation of blood vessels and lowering of blood pressure. The S- isomer of amlodipine or Asomex® is being studied in clinical trials and may lead to side effects such as fatigue or tiredness, dizziness or fainting, headache, flushing, or swelling of the legs or ankles. Side effects of amlodipine are generally mild and reversible.

My cardiologist subbed 5 mg Nebivolol for the Amlodipine due to what he described as exercise-related hypertension. I took this medication for a week and experienced a range of unpleasant side effects, including exhaustion, significant depression and reduced heart rate (mid-60s, compared with my normal mid-80s).
I've been off the Nebivolol for five days, but I'm still experiencing these side effects. My heart rate has only come back to about 67-68.
I have been contemplating whether to continue managing my hypertension using non-pharmacology techniques or to reinstate a recommended, first line mono therapy of 2.5 mg amlodipine by my doctor. I was diagnosed of hypertension about one year ago. I took 2.5 mg amlodipine daily at 8.00 pm without fail for three months until last July, 19, 2020.
It all depends on the hypertension and how well controlled it is. Changes in the heart made by a known issue (hypertension, infections or tachycardia to mention a few) tend to normalize as the underlying condition is treated.
The heart, like most organs, easily adapt to changed situations. In the case of hypertension, the heart walls grow to adapt to higher resistance. When such a change is no longer necessary, it often returns to normal.

My mother currently taking nebivolol 5mg in morning and amlodipine/perindopril 5/8mg in evening for hypertension. Her blood pressure has recently been improved and taking both pills cause low blood pressure, she is also suffering from cough as a side effect from perindopril. I am considering to shift her to nebivolol only but 5 mg once a day is not controlling the blood pressure well. My question is can nebivolol be taken twice a day in 2.

" Lodoz"2,5 mg seems to control my blood preasure fine.
It seems to be fairly common with Hypertension that if it goes on for a while at those high levels,then the heart slowly begins to enlarge, function becomes impaired and with heart failure being part of the complications. I am no doc but generally the heart improves function in the months following the reduction in blood pressure. The prognosis should be good as long as things are closely monitored and the meds are continued as prescribed. The EF often gets better in time also.

I was diagnosed with hypertension around 3 months ago. My blood pressure was around 155 over 110. I’m a 46 year old male and a regular drinker. I was put on 10/10mg perimdopral amlodipine tablets. My blood pressure seems to fluctuate from normal to high again and then normal. I went back to the dr who didn’t seem too worried. I can’t find any answers and going back to the drs will just result in the same issues. Feeling a bit lost and my anxiety is sky high because of this.
However, you did say the episode happened after your took the amlodipine besylate for the hypertension and anxit which is supposed to help relieve anxiety. The amlodipine besylate is not a new medication for you, is the anxit? It could be a reaction to the anxit but I doubt it. I still think you should see a neurologist.
