There is nothing as such. Choosing an antihypertensive depends on lot of factors like cardiovascular risk profile of pt, coexisting disorders, tolerability etc

I'm currently taking two medications, amlodipine besylate 2.5 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg, to manage my blood pressure. I was thinking about starting a dietary vitamin supplement and I'm worried if there could be any interactions with these meds. Can you give me some advice on whether I should be cautious about combining them?

Vitamin D supplements are generally safe to take with amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide. However, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement to ensure there are no potential interactions with your current medications.

Lately, I've been experiencing chest pain, and it's been a bit worrying. It started about two months ago, with the first incident lasting around 23 days and then happened again about a month later. Now it's back, and along with the chest pain, I'm having trouble breathing. Today I've also noticed some pain in my left limb near the stomach. Should I be concerned about this, or is there something specific I should be doing?
