I am a very fit 70 year old. I typically run 5 or 20 km or cycle 50 plus k a week. The medication caused my heart rate to go absolutely crazy high! I have worked on my diet. Increased potassium and magnesium and salt. My BP is back to excellent 106/70.

I took this medication and ended up not being able to get my shoes on and swelling in my whole body. Here’s the kicker. My doctor said “it must be the weather”. Needless to say,I threw the medication out and was back to normal within a week. I do my. Own research now before I take any medications.

I hike the mountains once a week at elevations between 5000-8000 feet. I found not taking Amlodipine the night before makes the climbs much easier. Go back to my meds after returning from hike (I also take Tamsulosin which has some similar side effects). I'm 75 and counting...

For a patient on Amlodipine add self went to 1 or 2 times a day perceived 5mg . The fatigue and pain in my joints reduce when self on 2x a day 1/2 dose . There is not enough history of information on lifestyles and diet on amlodipine . Millions need tom know when taking on what diet increases or decreased side effects . Respectfully to doctors there only so much they can research on .

It also causes your blood vessels to rupture. Leading to blood vessel ablation. This apparently from standing on your feet/legs all day or using your arms excessively. Just keep that in mind. You see older folks with red or brown mottling on their legs or arms. That is the cause of it. They will also be the people wearing compression hose or sleeves.

@richardfontanes23377 ай бұрын
Apparently you have to have a vien ablation. That is if your health insurance pre-qualifies the operation. And then you have to be ready for a weird feeling as they kill off the views. Not painful just a weird heat and then you have to wear full leg support hose for a month or so. After then if your lower leg has the vein damage as long as your standing or being active; you wear support hose. For life. If your body part that's affected after or before and you get jolts you can have them give you mild anti-seizure meds too. This sometimes occurs, but it doesn't last. Sory

Thank you for this video! Can you do a similar one but with Labetalol, a beta blocker? Since beta blockers are known to make you gain weight....I am curious if it is even possible to lose weight while on a low dose beta blocker? Are my workouts a waste of time? I do feel major fatigue often, but if I manage to push through to exercise anyway, will the body allow me to lose weight while on a beta blocker? Thank you so much for the information!

I lost a lot of weight while on a beta blocker. It’s about how many calories you consume vs burn. That’s it. You can increase how many calories you burn by gaining muscle and/or doing cardio. Or you can eat less. It’s that simple. If a medication makes you burn less calories, then do one of those two things to offset it.

Yep, same with me. And, my insurance only would pay for one leg to be fixed via ablation. I believe that suppresses the further coloration (blood leakage)

What about Cardio like sprinting?
@nextgenrehab Жыл бұрын
There is no concern with sprinting unless you have been advised by your doctor not to. Continue to monitor for symptoms like dizziness or feeling lightheaded. If you are just starting out, you can start with intervals (short sprints of 10-15 seconds followed by a 1min walk for recovery). Follow this pattern for 15-20 min a few times a week. You can gradually build up your sprint time as you progress.

Have a chat with your doctor to see if it's related to the medication. You may be dehydrated or deficient in electrolytes. Based on your medical history, your doctor can prescribed certain supplements like magnesium to help with the the muscle cramps.

Hello Nick. Is it possible to be taken off this medication completely without being placed on another?
@nextgenrehab2 жыл бұрын
It depends on your medical history. If you are someone with high blood pressure, then you most likely will need to be on a medication. If your blood pressure is controlled, your doctor may be able to take you off the medication. They may ask you to come off the medication and monitor for a period of time. I would advise you to speak with your family doctor.

If you do feel regular dizziness with exercise, you should not continue, especially if it's due to medication. Instead, talk with your physician to identify what's causing the dizziness, and if it is the medication, they will adjust the medication type/dose accordingly.
