Hello Doctor, I’ve been taking Met XL 25 mg once daily in the evening for the past 7 years. But today after dinner (I had only a simple sweet dish – sheera), I suddenly experienced palpitations and anxiety. I checked my BP at home — it was 170/110 and heart rate was 104. I rushed to a nearby hospital. ECG and cardiac profile were done — both came back normal. At the hospital, my BP was 160/90, so the doctor gave me Stamlo 5 mg (Amlodipine) as an emergency dose. After taking it, I felt better. When I asked if I need to take Stamlo 5 regularly, the doctor said it was only for emergency. Now I just want a second opinion — Do I need to start Stamlo 5 daily or not?
