cilnidipine mode of action - #28341
I am really trying to understand this whole cilnidipine mode of action thing because my doctor mentioned it during my last visit, and I'm a bit confused. A couple of months ago, I started experiencing high blood pressure, and they put me on a few different meds, but then switched me to cilnidipine after I told them about my constant headaches and dizziness. The headache was crazy, like a daily struggle, and the dizziness made me feel really out of it, you know? Anyway, the doctor explained that cilnidipine mode of action is different, acting on more than one channel or something like that, but I basically zoned out halfway through, to be totally honest. I think it has to do with calcium channels? But I’m unsure how it’s supposed to help with my blood pressure. I definitely want to know if cilnidipine mode of action is better than other blood pressure meds or not? Also, if anyone had side effects with it, because so far, I’m feeling a bit better but still getting these annoying dizzy spells once in a while. Should I be worried? Trying to connect the dots here, and your insights would really help!
