I also have no idea why calcium channel blockers have been prescribed (
amlodipine) ? This is a particularly nasty
med with lots of dizziness and nausea side effects. Has your cardio tried Ramipril, used for high blood pressure? It's an ace inhibitor and works great. I take 2.5mg morning and night and my blood pressure is fine. If I stop taking them, my blood pressure rises to 140./100. It now hovers around 120/70.
