i have PAH and take 10 mg of amlodipine twice a day. i mistakenly mixed up my meds and did not takeit for almost 10 days…what are the side effects and dangers ?

First, are you sure of all these facts? 10mg twice a day would be a very high dose.
Have you been taking your blood pressure during this time? Did you notice any difference?
For better or worse, amlodipine takes a long time to clear from your system, even after ten days it will only be about 90% clear. Other than your BP going up a bit - and perhaps you feeling better! - I don’t think this should cause any other problems.

Hello Sherry,
I believe that you should discuss this with your GP.
Good luck.
