Gingival hyperplasia and rapid heartbeat after taking the antihypertensive drug amlodipine can be treated with other antihypertensive drugs. 1. Clinically amlodipine belongs to dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers. After taking it, it can reduce the extracellular calcium ions into the vascular smooth muscle cells, reduce the contraction response of the resistance vessels, so as to play the role of lowering blood pressure. It is mainly used in the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris. 2. The drug may cause gingival hyperplasia, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, edema, headache and other discomforts after taking it. 3. If gingival hyperplasia and rapid heartbeat occur while taking the drug, the drug should be stopped immediately and other antihypertensive drugs should be selected for treatment after a comprehensive assessment of the condition by a doctor. For example, hydrochlorothiazide can discharge sodium, reduce extracellular volume to lower peripheral vascular resistance, and play a smooth and slow role in lowering blood pressure. Secondly, you can also choose metoprolol, which can inhibit myocardial contractility and slow down the heart rate, thus playing a role in lowering blood pressure. 4. It is usually contraindicated in people who are allergic to dihydropyridines, have severe hypotension, or have severe aortic stenosis. Blood pressure needs to be monitored during the course of medication to avoid symptoms of hypotension. Pregnant and lactating women should use the drug under the guidance of a doctor. If gingival hyperplasia and rapid heartbeat occur after taking amlodipine, it is recommended to stop taking the drug immediately and consult a doctor in time to adjust the drug under the guidance of the doctor.
