      Diet is obviously very important in managing high blood pressure, so by all means make the necessary changes. However, I wouldn't recommend you stopping the Amlodipine without talking to your doctor first. Most likely he/she may adjust the dose or find something that works better for you. All the best.

    • @HealthRX
      @HealthRX  2 года назад +2

      Not very common, but if there is an identified underlining cause of the elevated BP and that cause is eliminated, it is possible to be taken off the medication with caution.
      For example, I’ve seen instances where people have made drastic lifestyle changes leading to significant weight loss and have been able to come off their BP meds.

      @HealthRX  2 года назад +2

      HCTZ is a diuretic (water pill) so I’m guessing your doctor is giving you that to counter the fluid accumulation causing the swelling. Generally not a big fan of using one medication to counter the side effects of other medications, but since I don’t know the details of your personal situation, I cannot say whether that is good or bad. It may well be the best for you depending on your individual circumstances.

      Unfortunately, headache is one of the documented side effects of Amlodipine. For a lot of people it usually goes away after the first couple of days, but if it persists, then please discuss with your doctor for either a dose change or a different medication. All the best.
