Amlodipine, Apo-Furosemide, Diovan and terrible chills
I have been taking Amlodipine 10 mg now for 3 months now, with this I also take Apo-Furosemide 40 mg, Diovan 160 mg and 600 mg APO-K.
I always have terrible chills in the late afternoon, until twelve hours later when I take my next medication (Not including Amlodipine which I take only once a day)
The Question is: What can I do about these terrible chills? and what causes this?
Please help!

Diovan and Amiloride
I have used 3 different kinds of di-uretics since starting to take Diovan_
-HCTZ
-Furosemide
-Amiloride
In while y was tanking these medication joint pains came in abundance in the right side of neck, hipjoints, lower back and legs. When I quit these medication the pain goes lowwer to about ten percent of what it was.
Some Doctors say it can't be possible but unsually say that is possible. I know it is so since it happens to me.
