norvasc

Avatar f tn I am taking this med for blood pressure but now my legs are retaining fluid and I am having breathing problems are these side effects? I think I may even have some fluid on the lungs.
Avatar f tn Edema is a common side effect of the Norvasc and a low dose thiazide diuretic will take care of the swelling and also help the BP.
Avatar m tn I would like to know if these are side effects of the meds or if it is possible i have some disease that affects my joints/disks as well as raises my BP?
Avatar f tn I think u may not be able to sleep cos ur bp is too high and thats quite dangerous, usually i cant get any sleep if my bp rises above 150/90. Side effects of atenolol for me are slow pulse, weak erection, weakness and tiredness, confusion, difficulty taking quick decisions.
Avatar n tn I have some swelling and slight dizziness with the Novasc, but the benefits far out weigh the side effects.
Avatar m tn I don't know if these are symptoms of a condition or side effects of some of my meds, so can someone help? I take Norvasc, Altace, Lexapro, Crestor, AndroGel, Doxycycline Hyclate, and Advair 250/50. I have been on the first 4 for years. The last 3 have been added within the last several months. I also have Severe Sleep Apnea, but I use my APAP religiously. AHI is usually <4, but will on ocassion sneak up to 5.
653169 tn?1303446369 I do know that all to often things like this are not listed as side effects. The problem is that the doctors and or patients do not report them and so they too often get looked over as is the case here. I am sure there are many documented cases they just are not reported. I am not sure what the protocol is far as doctors reporting side effects but we as Pt's can call the pharmaceutical company and report effects. this will help many.
250398 tn?1225263291 Indeed, in recent weeks, when I have had situations where I have had to sit for long periods of time, such as basically all day in meetings, I have had noted swelling in my ankle. No other issues of swelling though. So, I should follow-up with a doctor, correct? My issue though is that I work out of the country and am not in an area where I can find medical help that is fluent enough in English to understand me or for me to understand them.
2095551 tn?1333122531 Is there any other drug out there that will work the same way to open up small blood vessels like Norvasc but wont have the "bad swelling of legs and feet?" Anyone, please me know know, looking forward to hearing from you...
343006 tn?1314446471 as I didnt have this happen before.. not even when on toprol or diovan. but did have worse side effects from them ! have you ever had anyone with these problems or symptoms , that is on verapamil or maxzide ??
Avatar f tn I am concerned about the possibity of ankle swelling with Norvasc, so I will discuss that with my doctor. Thank you again.
Avatar n tn I always like to learn as much as possible about my medications as well. They say not to because you may worry about side effects that may occur but I do it anyway and give the meds a chance before I worry about that. Unfortunately I have no knowledge about the medicine you are talking about but there are a lot of forums on Medhelp to include anxiety as well some that may pertain to the reason you have to take the norvasc.
Avatar f tn I have started taking Norvasc for Hypertension and am having side effects such as nausea, headache, and it seems to be causing some eye pain and pressure. 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 f tn 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. Is there any other calcium blocker that doesn't cause swelling? I've already taken Zestril (ace inhibitor) with the Diovan before. Can you please tell me what other good medications to be taken with the Diovan. I appreciate your help.
Avatar f tn I have been taking zoloft for 10 days now and I feel really anxious and nervous, I feel shortness of breath can anyone tell me if these are side effects and if they will go away. I don't know if I should stop taking it I just lost my insurance so I can't go back to the dr that prescribed them for me can anyone help me. Right now I'm also taking levaquin, and medrol and norvasc, enalapril. Can I still take my ativan for the anxiety. Any anwers will be greatly appreciated thank you.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if repeated ankle swelling on the affected side is normal after a stroke? My recovery has gone really well, all things considered, but my left ankle almost always swells daily and then goes down overnight - looks great in a.m. I still have numbness/neuropathy in it, too, though improved. Are these related and what can I do? Has anyone had success in getting all feeling back in toes, bottom of foot, etc? I'll try almost anything!!
Avatar n tn Gums on both sides began progressive daily swelling (x4 days) causing severe pain, also lymph node on right side jaw swelled. Pt had fever of 100-104 for the first one and a half weeks. Fever persists between 99 and 100 (controlled only w OTC meds). Swelling and pain to gums also persist. On the same day crown was fitted pt was diagnosed by primary care physician w viral infection (cold) and bacterial (sinus) infection.
Avatar n tn Is there a clinical study and shows femara vs placebo rather than femara vs tamoifen (novartis trial)? What is the general recommendation? Can you stop femara if side effects become a quality of life issue? Thank you.
Avatar n tn I'm taking Cardizem and have serious side effects (constipation, ankle swelling, etc.) Is there a comparable drug that does not cause such sever symptoms?
672586 tn?1280933658 Make sure you see a dentist at least twice a year and make it known you are on ccb. Side effects can occur in some people where gums are affected, but in my case two of my molars crumbled.
Avatar f tn Had a large tumor and total thyroidectomy removed 3 weeks ago. The past few days having dull but strong headaches that go into my ear, down my jaw into my neck. I'm taking 100 mcg of Levothyroxine a day and 2 Calcitrol a day. My calcium was very low after surgery.
Avatar f tn I am 32 yr old female who has been taking a diuretic since I was 20 for HBP. Now I am also on norvasc which isn't working and is causing angina. The doctor has tried me on several meds with little to no results or severe side effects that made not able to take a cpl of them. I've only had a CMP and CBC done for tests. I've been to him every month for the past year now and he just switches me to a new med without testing anything.
Avatar m tn Check on the publicized side-effects. I know Calcium Channel Blockers can cause swelling and have had some in my ankle. This has mostly passed, that is I still take CCB and the swelling is not noticeable to my eye. Beta Blockers may have a similar problem....I take BB too. You didn't post anything that makes me think "clot". Do you suffer from atrial fibrillation, or have you suffered some physical accident that could have caused internal bleeding?
1507909 tn?1313633804 what can i do about my ankle, my left ankle is swollen so bad it hurt i stopped eating so much sodium and its still swollen.

Avatar n tn How do metoprolol, isosorb, and benazepril together, differ from, norvasc and lanoxin.
Avatar f tn OK so I woke up today and all of a sudden my left foot hurts in my arch and on the bone above it and my whole ankle and foot is swollen. I didn't hurt it seeing as I'm on bed rest ankle nd have been doing just that. Resting. Has anyone had this happen to them? I have a little swelling in my other leg and my hands but my left one is worse.
5609181 tn?1375332372 For the last day I've had swelling (not terrible or all the sudden) on only my left side. My left ankle and my left hand is fairly swollen. There's some pain in my ankle but nothing in my hand. My face or eyes are puffy so I don't think it's preeclampsia. What do you ladies think?
