Experienced an itchy rash on arms or neck when first taking. Had E.D. with it, not sure if it was caused by it. Levitra corrected it. Excerise daily & Felodipine lowed my H.B.P.

I awoke every morning with a severe headache untill my Doctor put me on this pill. My blood pressure was going up during my sleep and was extremely high in the mornings. Since taking this medication, I have not had any problems and my blood pressure is staying normal.

I have been taking this medication for over a year and it worked for me for the first few months. Suddenly, I developed a rash around the lower part of my neck. I also am experiencing flushed/red face, red eyes, and feels like my heart is pumping harder than normal. I have discontinued using it and just now taking Lisinopril and Hydrochlorothiazide. BP reading is satisfactory.

My ankles are swollen; there is a red rash on my neck and chest; there is a slightly raised red rash on my legs; and I also have headaches that I never had before using Felodipine. I need to get off of it.

I have developed a rash on my back and legs that is very itchy. My dermatologists suggests I stop taking this drug. I could nnot take lisinopril because of cough. Is this rare,common, ornot possible?
