Monitoring your blood pressure at home is a critical element to keeping your blood pressure under control. When it's high you typically don't have symptoms and oftentimes when you come see me you get nervous and your blood pressure goes up. It's very helpful if you are taking it on a regular basis at home so we can tell if we need to make some adjustments. Here are a few options in blood pressure monitors that can help you with this:

Thank you so much for this information and the plain, concise and demeanor in how you presented.

Thank you for the explanation in depth. I’ve been bothered with increase in shoe size and width due to swollen feet ankles and legs. Plus with other added BP Meds my BP is like a roller coaster and I’m so fatigued I don’t have energy to walk to my mailbox, also shortness of breath. I never thought it may the changes in my four BP meds. Thank you so very much

Thanks, Dr. Erik. It is really helpful since this will be my first time to take this medicine. Your explanation is clear and easy to understand. Thank YOU!

Thank you Doctor

I would never take it again. It caused me so much pain in my swollen feet and ankles. Some days I couldn't even walk. I went on a whole foods diet and lost 35 lbs in 7 months but was off amlodipine in just one week just by changing my diet under my doctor's care. Lots of leafy greens and vegetables, no sugar, no flour, no vegetable oil and my triglycerides dropped 115 points. In one week. BP is normal now usually under 120 over 80 most days.

I had debilitating lower leg spasms for three months nightly, had to sleep in a recliner. Doctor took me off it and I have not had a problem since.
