Tingling limbs and feet/hands. Cold hands and feet. Blurred vision. Eye pain. Dry eyes. Panicky all the time. Tired and can't stop yawning. Lips felt puffy and tingly even though they were't swollen after taking medication. | Started on Amlodipine 10mg(1QD) along with labetalol 200mg (1BID) for hbp and high heart rate. Bp decreased some days but out of nowhere it will spike to the 130s low 140 over 90s. Bp was never really high to begin with. I had an episode where coffee and energy vitamins started palpitations and bp spiked to 143/96 and I went to ER and was put on these meds. I think they are way to strong for me. I can't function. I stopped taking both 3 days ago and felt better the only t hi nfs still lingering is the tiredness, anxiety is still there but a little better, and I have back pain from sleeping sitting up bc I'm afraid of a panic attack waking me up. 3 days off and im still getting tingling in feet but not as much as when I was on the meds. Since stopping both medications 3 days ago my bp has been lowest 115/74 and highest 134/92. lowest with medication was 96/62 and highest with meds was 142/88. I have an appointment with cardiologist in 2 weeks.

LABETALOL HCL (LABETALOL HYDROCHLORIDE): Labetalol is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is both an alpha blocker and beta blocker. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body such as epinephrine on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. FDA Approval Date: 1998-08-03 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
