High blood pressure worries

Posted by emi00309 @emi00309, Mar 28 11:12am

I'm 26 on amlodipine

When I get mad or upset my head feels full and I feel like I'm going to faint
Is that my blood pressure nearing a dangerous level?

I take my blood pressure every 2 weeks and it's always within normal ranges.

It is most likely the side effects of the drug. If you only monitor your blood pressure every two weeks you may want to take it more often.

I've been on amlodipine for a few years. Don't think it's side effects? A doctor I spoke to said it was adrenaline causing the issue so maybe that?
