Heart Palpitations, Fluttering Sensation, Dizziness. Taking Amlodipine, On Heart Monitor. Causes For Symptoms?
Hi I have been taking amlodipine 5mg for 2yrs in May,I had a 24hr monitor put on about 2 wks later, my BP was 140 over 90. I had another 24hr monitor 2 wks ago and my average BP is now 117 over 67. In the last few days I have occaisonally felt palpitations, my heart fluttering and slight dizziness . Should I continue taking amlodipine? Is it causing these symptoms?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
There is no mention of the results of Holter! - done twice...
If you are symptomatic, you may switch over to a beta-blocker - it benefits both the rate and pressure.
Discuss with your doctor and decide.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
