Reaction to Blood Pressure Medications
Posted: 05-21-08 03:14am

My husband is taking amlodipine besylate 10mg for blood pressure and simvastatin 40mg for cholestrol. He is having side effects we think are related to the pill. Does anyone have problems with memory, or balance when while taking this medication? If so, have you found anything that works for you without the side effects.

For how long he has been taking these meds?
Dizziness is a common side effect of amlodipine.
Memory loss is related to usage of simvastatin in small percent of users.

It will be right to inform his doctor for the experienced side effects, cause the doctor is the one who can recommend adjusting the dosage or switching to another medications.

Well wishes!
