5 | Spiking BP | Relaxation | I started taking this for bp spikes of 220/100. I actually bite the capsule to allow the juice to get on my tongue and it is the ONLY medication that alleviates the spike. If u have unexplained spikes like I do I highly recommend procardia. It is the ONLY thing thats brought mine down. | M | 62 | 7 years 10 1X AN | 2/28/2022 | 1 | Blood pressure | Swings in blood pressure. Took me forever to figure this out. High anxiety. Warm flushing tingling in face ears and feet. Anxiety is so high I am close to making poor decisions and or mentally paralyzed. I am going to see another doctor. It's scary I've made it this long. | M | 59 | 9 months 30 1X day | 10/1/2020 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | I had problems with being very violent and upset about everything. I felt very tired constantly. I had a problem with trying to hit someone with my car. I decided it was time to get off the crazy pills and move to Norvasc. | It is a horrible medication. My blood pressure didn't go down at all, it actually went up because I was irritated 24/7. I do not recommend this medication to anyone. | M | 19 | 6 months 30mg 1X day | 3/10/2010 | 1 | Hypertension | Headache | Doctor said it might cause headaches and it did. One 30 mg dose gave me a headache for two days. Now I have always had a probelm with headaches (since adolesence). The beta blocker (atenolol) I have used for the last 25 years tended to suppress them. I was still using the atenolol when I took the procardia. Developed a severe headache within 3 hours. | M | 51 | 1 days | 4/8/2006 | 1 | high blood pressure | this stuff seemed to help at 1st but the longer i take it the worse it gets. i have terrible depression. i cant hardly walk.short of breath. really bad back pain.(muscle). im so tired. no energy at all. now i know its the procardia because if i dont take it 1 day i can function again. does anyone out there know a good natural remedy for high blood pressure? if you do im ready !!!!! | im getting off this stuff. i may have to change doctors. they brainwash you. | M | 64 | 4 months | 5/9/2006 | 1 | Hypertension-unknown cause | Horrible drug. Made me a very crazy, angry person. Normally people irritate me but I was overreacting like I never have before | Stopped taking it and over next 3 days became much calmer and less irratable. May not happen to everyone but if you go on this and notice your temper flaring, stop the med before you kill someone----Didn't lower my BP very much | M | 40 | 14 days | 2/25/2006 | 1 | High blood pressure | High Pules, Fast heart rate | At first it worked great but over time Pules rate went higher and higher. So bad it felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. This stuff was not for me. If this happens to you tell your Dr. You want to try something eles. Fast heart rate is a side effect of this stuff. | M | 33 | 6 months 90 MG 1X day | 5/18/2013 | 5 | Raynaunds | If I take 90 mg I get dizzy and my Bp is too low. Been on it five years for Raynauds no issues. | F | 48 | 1 days 60mg | 2/8/2015 | 5 | preeclampsia postpartumhypertension | Mild headache and low blood pressure | Honestly it has helped me immensely. I was hospitalized with bp in the 200's and this medicine works like a charm for me. I took 5 different meds a day and no good results. With procardia one pill a day does the trick. | F | 21 | 2 months 90 | 3/8/2017 | 5 | for boardline B/P | None | i love the time release | F | 61 | 15 years | 7/20/2005 | 5 | hypertension | None at all | F | 50 | 5 years | 8/7/2009 | 4 | premature labor,highbloodpressure | dizzy,sleepy,tierd,slow feeling | it stopped me from going into labor four years ago, and then my family doctor put me on 60mlg. for bloodpressure, and sometimes it doesnt work real well, but usually helps keep it in controll,along with a mild blood pressure pill i split into on those times. | F | 43 | 5 years | 9/6/2004 | 4 | bp | dizziness at first but a great pill to lower extreme bp. as high as 210/110 before started taking it. time release is great but have to be careful in the moring getting up from bed. energy level increased and enjoyed physical activity more. would recommend this for anyone with very high BP. no side effects other than dizziness in the morning. take it with lasix. | F | 53 | 4 years | 7/28/2006 | 4 | high blood pressure | Insomnia & fatigue | F | 75 | 3 months 60 mg | 5/21/2016 | 4 | Hypertension | While taking Procardia I have experienced dizziness, heavy feeling in my chest, shooting pains in my heart, heart fluttering and anxiety. I have had these experiences with all 3 doses have been on. | It has helped greatly with my hypertension. I wish it would work without the scary side effects. | F | 31 | 2 months 30, 60, 90 | 3/8/2017 | 3 | High blood pressure | Swollen ankles, depression, anxiety, anger problems,acid reflux and dizziness | When I first started taking this I had no problems. 3 years ago after I had my second child that's when I started having more problems. Days that I don't take the medication I have no problems. | F | 31 | 5 years 90 mg | 2/4/2016 | 3 | Postpartum Blood pressure | I had dull headaches, warm, tingling feeling in my hands and feet. Chest tightness and heaviness. Tiredness, weakness and legs/ calves feeling tight. | F | 35 | 2 months 30 mg | 12/13/2018 | 3 | Postpartum Hypertension | Intense anxiety and panic attacks, chest tightness/heaviness/reflux, palpitations, nervousness, chest congestion, low energy and shortness of breath some days. Also had nausea, lack of appetite, and vomiting the first couple of days. | Did a decent job managing BP but had a lot of side effects | F | 32 | 6 weeks 60 MG | 3/21/2019 | 3 | Postpartum preeclampsia | Fluttering heart, extreme dizziness, fatigue, eye floaters, stabbing pain in head, stabbing sensation in chest | Works to control BP but might go too low. | F | 31 | 45 days 30 mg | 8/16/2019 | 3 | Postpartum preeclampsia | This drug did a great job bringing my blood pressures down to good levels after preeclampsia. I went into the ER with 200/90 and after management in the hospital was discharged with 140s/90-80s. I am now 5 weeks out and get 110/60-70s consistently. I’ve coincidentally been diagnosed with postpartum panic disorder, but after reading other reviews of this drug I am now very curious if my VERY intense anxiety and occasional panic attacks are not postpartum at all but rather a side effect... | F | 29 | 6 weeks 30 | 11/16/2019 |
PROCARDIA XL (NIFEDIPINE): Nifedipine is used alone or in combination with other drugs to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is also used for certain types of chest pain (angina). It may help increase your ability to exercise and decrease the frequency of chest pain attacks. It should not be used to treat chest pain when it occurs. Use other medications (e.g., sublingual nitroglycerin) to relieve attacks of chest pain as directed by your doctor. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. This medication is known as a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels so blood can flow more easily.
