Since starting felodopine 2 months ago I have developed really bad pains at back of both legs. GP check me for blood cloths and all clear I was told if it was the felodopine I would have swollen legs and feet which I do not have. Has anyone experienced pains in legs without the swelling. ~Normally I will do my yoga, dance excercise class and walks in group. It seems to make more painful if I do any form of exercise. My life is now miserable.

My left leg feels like I have sciatica and my ankle & foot are swelling. I have stopped taking it and the swelling has stopped, but my leg still hurts!

Since I have been taken this drug, I have developed a cough and it seems I can't breath. Does anyone else have these symptoms?

I just started this 2.5 mg and Indapamide from Mayo Clinic and both these drugs are causing me to have joint pain. First in left legs and now I can hardly get out of bed in the morning. Feel like I am ready for a scoters. Not a candidate for either of these meds. Also has red40 dye in the Indapamide 1.25mg.

It works good for high blood pressure but 6 months later my doctor prescribed Calcium w/vit D and it caused me to have bad chest pains. I can't take any calcium supplements or any food with soy in it. Too much Calcium. There's an interaction-big time.

Began Felodipine approx 9 years ago for high BP. Worked well for approx 2 years and noticed the first few days I continuously had a feeling of "well being" which continued for the two years I used it...simply felt great. Then my BP crept up. Had three miserable years first with Lisinoprile and then Cozaar. Lisin turns people into zombies, very weak ones at that, dropping heart rate to "no quality of life state". In desperation was put on losartin, a generic of Cozaar and decided there must be striking differences between the two. Along with the losartin, I started felopipine again and the last several years have been perfect. Rarely take my BP anymore and when I do I am 110/68 HR about 60. Am 83, still climb the 30 foot ladder to trim my tall oak trees. My Wife and I still have normal sexual intercourse. Yes, have a feeling of "well being" all day every day. From the Felodipine?? Who knows.Read More Read Less

My blood pressure has continued to be high. It ranges from 155/76 to 185/83. Very few times it will be in the range of 149/66 even when taking 10mg.

I took 10mg Felodipine for one year after six months I started having joint pain in my shoulders hips and thumbs. I complained to my doctor and he said it was the onset of arthritis. The pain got so bad after a year I had trouble getting out of bed. I decided to to some research and discovered Felodpine can cause joint pain. I stopped taking it and after two weeks began to have less joint pain. After six mounts now I only have slight pain and my left shoulder when trying reaching above my head. I'm 95% better and feel great! if you have any joint pain at all with this medication talk to your doctor about finding an alternative.Read More Read Less

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.
