Hi,



I understand your concern and would explain that there is not anything concerning in your clinical situation.I would just recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure.

If your blood pressure values are low during the evening, I would recommend taking only half of the dose of Amlodipine or avoiding taking it. The next day, you can start taking your medicine as before.



Hope I have answered your query.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
