i am man 51 years old, eastern (color skin)
I am using 5mg Amlodipine for treatment of HBP, working very good. Meaning, my blood pressure is say maintained at 120/80. Started about two years ago.
I am going to bathroom for urinate 3 to 5 times a night, making my sleep not good. This is my problem. I really don't recall when this became a problem. Let us say 4 years, became worse in tte last couple of years. I am not taking any medicine for that.
I am also frequently going to urinate during day time. Since over 30 years i noticed that, ultrasound and several doctor consultation in the past didn't recognize any issues, except my bleeder is close to my prostate, that is why i urinate frequently. During day, no problem, because i have access to bathroom, even so this is disturbing. Problem at night. I used to drink many tea during day time, and water. But this is not the reason. During day i go every 1.5 hours, and at night 3 times to 5 times.
A consultation with a urology doctor will help diagnose the cause and set you on the path toward a more restful night. Untreated nocturia is associated with a poorer quality of life and can lead to depression, cognitive dysfunction, and increased risk for falls and fractures.
As I mentioned in my reply, I am taking 5mg Amlodipine. This is a kind of calcium blocker, which is worsen the condition for prostate.
My blood sugar is fine per blood test, when fasting 8 hours is less than 100 and is about 125 to 135 when fasting 2 hours.
What is the replacement recommended for 5 mg Amlodipine
Thank you
