What Are the Uses of Amlodipine 5 mg, and How Does It Work? - #15268
I was recently prescribed Amlodipine 5 mg, but I don’t fully understand how it works. From what I’ve read, it’s mainly used for high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart-related conditions, but does it have any other medical uses? Is Amlodipine 5 mg only for lowering blood pressure, or is it also used to treat angina (chest pain), irregular heartbeat, or artery stiffness? How does it actually help in relaxing blood vessels and improving circulation? I also read that Amlodipine can cause side effects like dizziness, swelling in the legs, headaches, and fatigue. How common are these side effects, and do they go away over time, or do they require stopping the medication? Are there any natural alternatives to Amlodipine for managing blood pressure and heart health? Does Ayurveda recommend any herbs like Arjuna, Garlic, or Ashwagandha to support healthy blood flow and cardiovascular function? If anyone has taken Amlodipine 5 mg, how effective was it for your condition, and did you experience any side effects?
