Parar Almodipine gradualmente ou de uma vez

Tratamento e medicação
1

I've been on Amlodipine for 3 months and have had bad side effect my GP didn't want to take me off. Side effects I've had were: swelling, heartburn, heart palpatations (so bad I went to the ER), flushing face, insominia, tingling left arm and leg. Since my GP didn't want to take me off I went to see a Cardioligst and after giving my symptoms he told me to stop cold turkey and if BP rises take Atenolol. Seems like Atenolol is a worse drug. I go back to the Cardio for stress test and 1 month of heart monitoring. I'm on day1 of cold turkey and still feeling flush, swollen, hearburn and palpatations. Should i taper instead? My BP was 135/93 and that's the reason for the meds but now stay around 120/85.

Thoughts?

Oi, honestamente não sei o que é pior, eu estava tomando Metoprolol por dois anos e meio, agora estou tomando Propranolol que também tem efeitos colaterais, como náuseas, às vezes cansaço, etc. Ele tentou me dar também Atenolol, mas nunca experimentei esse. Por que você não pergunta ao seu cardiologista sobre uma ablação, que funciona para palpitações. Qual é exatamente a sua condição?

i just started getting the palpations since taking the Amlodipine so i knew it was the drug that was causing but my GP didnt want to take me off of it.
