Does Amlodipine Cause Chest Pain?
I am taking 10mg of amlodipine daily. I have lost 30 albs and an now experiencing pain in my lungs but no shortness of breath. The doctor i saw took me off amlodipine and put me on hydraclorizaide, My lung pain went away. My regular physician is on vacation. Ive been on amlopidine 5 years and have been having this problem for 5 years off and on thinking it was allergies or asthma causing the lung discomfort. I have really bad allergies. I now have been told by a doctor in the same office my problem is the amlopodine, what do you think
