Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain And Excessive Sweating While On Norvasc
Question: I have just started Norvasc and having every adverse symptom. Sweats to point I am soaking wet, chest pain, etc. Cannot tolerate even 5,mg. Would Cozzar be good alternative? I am a nurse
Brief Answer:
Yes, Cozarr could be a good alternative. Try it out!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these severe side effects that you have reported. I will suggest that you try norvasc if you are being treated for hypertension. This is entirely a different class of drug and as such would be able to help and might not have the same side effects profile.
The main side effect of norvasc is dry cough. If this turns out to be better, then we should and can stick to it.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me. Also, keep me updated about your progress.

Brief Answer:
I missed states. Yes, start with cozaar!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up.
My response should actually read as yes, you can take cozaar. I made the error of putting Norvasc for cozaaar.
Norvasx is the first line drug as recommended by the experts. That's why most doctors will always start with it unless they face challenges/difficulties.
I wish you well and thanks for getting back to me. Am always happy to entertain further exchanges.
