High Blood Pressure
"I&#039;m a 65 year old male who has had moderately high BP until about a year ago. Then it started spiking with a high of 198/100. My Dr put me on Amlodipine Besylate 5mg about 10 months ago. BP today 119/71. 

Like all meds, this will effect everyone differently, but from what the Dr&#039;s tell me, it&#039;s the one with the least number of side effects. The following are things I have noticed since taking this drug.
1. My legs seem a little weaker than before but have not noticed significant swelling which is one of the main side effects. 
2. At night I have discomfort in my legs generally the thigh muscles. Not pain but discomfort like I ran on a treadmill for an hour. Nothing that keeps me awake.
Overall, it works for me."
