For High Blood Pressure "I was on amlodipine for 2 years. My legs started to tighten terribly and my feet were swelling, so my GP put me on felodipine. Wow. I experienced tingling all over my body, and numbness to the point of dropping cups, etc. I had headaches that rendered me to bed, I couldn't lift my head off the pillows without feeling nausea and dizziness. Then I started coughing up blood. This was all in 3 weeks. I stopped taking it, and everything returned to normal after 3 days. But unfortunately, my blood pressure was high again. So now I am awaiting new medication."

For High Blood Pressure "I've been put on felodipine parma XL, and it was OK at first, but now I spend 2 hours in bed a day with side effects. I get dizzy, and my head is full of fog, and I feel sickly. It's a nightmare. I have to take aspirin to get the side effects to get better, but it's 2 hours a day feeling like absolute dirt."

For High Blood Pressure "After trying 2 or 3 different pills, finally given 5 mg felodipine & was great - until the pharmacy said they couldn't get hold of them & was given 2 x 2.5 mg of ParmidXL. Within 3 days, my B/P was back high again, feeling breathless and dizzy. I'm told it's the same drug, but definitely has different results. Has anyone else experienced this? What to do now?"
