Does stopping amlodipine 5 mg cause withdrawal symptoms, and if so, what are the best ways to manage it? Additionally, I have started taking amlodipine 5 mg and telmisartan 40 mg for blood pressure due to thyroiditis. Now that my thyroid levels are normalized and my blood pressure is in the range of 110/70, I have been feeling headache and lightheadedness after starting these medications. My CBC and CMP are all normal, and my EKG is normal. Do you think amlodipine or telmisartan could be the culprits, and which drug has more side effects noted? What is a good CCB alternative for amlodipine?

I was treated for trich at the ER and was given doxycycline for 10 days. A week after starting the medication, I developed a red, itchy rash with welts at the IV site and now have the same rash in warmer areas of my body. I'm unsure if it's related to the medication. What could be causing this rash and how can I manage it?

I have pain in my right side (glutes, hamstrings, lower back) that started about 6 months ago. The pain is dull, achy, and sometimes throbbing, and it gets worse with spine extension and movement. My radiology report says both of my SI joints are normal, but the X-ray of my pelvis shows them as completely different. Can I speak to a radiologist about the X-ray images, and what could be causing this discrepancy and my pain?
