Hi, I take Niphedipine er 90 mg once a day to treat my post preeclampsia a year ago. For a month and a half, my gums bleed more and are inflamed and I have noticed an onset of anxiety and fast and beating heartbeat sometimes at night. I take my pill once a day around 5. I eat afterwards usually and notice I feel anxious after eating. I tend to have trouble at night while sitting and watching TV with the anxiety and I struggle to breathe normally and yawn a lot. I'm just wondering if my medicine is causing my anxiety at night or if my new anxiety hurts my medicine? I wonder if I should reconsider this medicine to treat my high bp. What doesn't make sense to me even to this day is that I never had high bp until after my 4th baby was born. Even throughout the pregnancies, I never had high bp. It was two days after coming home with my 4th child when it went out of control and landed me back in the hospital. Its been over a year now since I had post preeclampsia. I still take my medicine, but.like I said, it seems to have some side effects for a month and a half now.
Thank you for your time,
Vanessa Estes
