high blood pressure
"56 y/o HEALTHY F w/slightly high BP. Put me on amlodipine in June. In 48 hours my joints hurt. Felt like I was in a fog, anxiety elevated. Told Dr I was healthy running 1/2 marathons and now can barely run 3km due to above. Told Dr I just didn't feel right. Told benefits outweighed side effects. August went to Urgent Care & asked them to do Lyme test cuz of aches and neck pain - negative. Thanks giving week elbow pain unbearable, trouble walking downstairs knees hurt, knees and thighs swollen. Called Dr. Went off. Immediately fog lifted, still anxious as I don't feel right. Joints still achy & knees hurt. Back/neck trouble past two weeks hoping they'll go away and I'll feel better. HATE amlodipine. Started on HCT, see Dr next week."
