Could my blood pressure medication cause neuropathy?

Asked 2 years ago

Hello, I have recently been experiencing tingling and numbness in my feet and hands, and my doctor has diagnosed me with peripheral neuropathy. However, I am concerned that my new blood pressure medication may be causing this condition. Could my blood pressure medication be the culprit behind my neuropathy, or is this just a coincidence? I would appreciate any insights anyone has with this issue. Thank you.

Certain blood pressure medications like Hydralazine and Amiodarone can cause drug-induced neuropathy. Usually, these drugs cause nerve damage that can be reversed if you stop the medication. Consider speaking to your doctor about this possibility and seeing what happens if you use a different medication for your high blood pressure.
