@bhallett39 I started on 2.5mg amlodipine for 2 months after a couple of years of high BP (prior to that had normal bp my whole life till my early 50s -I am 59. Increased to 5mg a bit over a month ago and finally seems to be working. I've had some side effects like lightheaded which might be from the meds. I've been monitoring my BP for years and was trying to delay meds but it was on an upward trend. Good luck!
