[|Human|] i have been taking norvasc 5mg for bp for a year . i haven t seen any change in my bp. my bp in my right hand is in the morning 145/75. but in my left hand it is normal. after taking the medicine for one year i have experienced no side effects except lower heart beat of 48 to 52. i am 38. what should i do please?
[|AI|]  Hello, I would explain that novas does not have any effects on the heart rate.  As your blood pressure values are still above the normal ranges, I would recommend increasing the dose of novas to 10 mg daily and see if it helps improve your situation.  I would also recommend performing a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries in order to investigate for possible atherosclerotic plaques.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
