I am 32 years old with chronic high blood pressure. My doctor switched me from Caduet to Azor and within 4 weeks I had severe pain in my extremeties-my feet were killing me. Now I have been switched to Exforge 5/320. Any suggestions about I might face in side effects?

Hello. Sorry to hear about your problems, I would like to clarify a few things.
Caduet = Amoldipine/ Atorvastatin. One is for blood pressure the other is for cholesterol
Azor = Amlodipine/ Olmesartan two different kinds of blood pressure medicine
Exforge = Amlodipine/ Valsartan Same as above slightly different combination.
First things first. Switching from Caduet to Azor is not a normal switch. By doing so you are loosing your cholesterol medication and adding an extra blood pressure. Since you have chronic high blood pressure adding the second drug makes sense. Loosing the cholesterol doesn't, unless you don't need it.
