Blood pressure meds making neuropathy worse?

Good morning, phyllisq (@phyllisq)

Some questions almost seem unanswerable. I posted a new discussion only yesterday asking if any had ever found a credible link between the hypertension med Amlodipine and poor balance due to PN. Because my blood pressure started doing funny things during the holidays, my PCP added a 5 mg dose of Amlodipine to the 25 mg of Losartan I already take. It seems right about that same time (the addition of the Amlodipine) my PN balance got a little worse, not dramatically worse, just a little. I have PT this morning. I plan to ask my therapist if he's ever heard of a connection. Later, I'm going to ask my PCP the same question. I imagine you can see why your post caught my attention.

Cheers!

Ray,
Yes some of the drugs that has caused my problems include Amlodipine and most recently Nebivolol. The increase in pain and numbness in the feet coincide to me restarting BP Meds every time. Fun choice high blood pressure or increased neuropathy.
