trying to recover from endocarditis
I have been home now for 4 weeks, after treatment for infective endocarditis and heart disease too. Once again, I have a serious UTI, which is what was suspected as a suspect when the endocarditis was found. All my meds have changed; I have been given blood thinners, and also Amlodipine which is giving

Amlodipine & Swelling
I've been taking Amlodipine for over two years now, and in the last 6 months have noticed swelling in my ankles and feet, gradually getting worse. In the hot weather it's become even worse. I didn't experience and swelling symptoms for at least the whole first year of taking Amlodipine. My GP has said

No Watchman fitted, disappointing.
Hi I can’t deny I was disappointed. I came round from the general anaesthetic to be told I was not selected for the Watchman device and that I will be in the Control group. The upside I suppose, is that I have no foreign object in my body and I will still be closely monitored alongside the two who

Watchman Device
Hi, I am looking for advice. Just over a year ago I had a right lobar haemorrhage (bleed on the brain) leading to a stroke. Several months later I was diagnosed with hypertension and put on Amlodipine 5mg. This put my CHADS-VAS score to 4. In November I began getting chest pains and palpitations,

BP meds
I have been a CKD patient since 2001. For many years, my decline was minimal. Recently, I have seen great decline. My question is in regards to BP meds. I'm taking Lisinopril, and Amlodipine. Foes anyone know if these meds have detrimental effects on Kidney function?

Swollen ankles
My daughter commented last night on how swollen my ankles are - the ankle'bump' was hardly visible on my right foot. Bother were heavily indented from wearing socks and ankle/ lower leg was swollen. Is this something I need to get checked? Quickly, or not a rush? Currently taking Ivabradine Bisopropol

Amlodopine
I had a dreadful and painful experience when I took my Amlodipine on Wednesday morning. The pills are a sort of oval shape and I often have difficulty swallowing them straight down. This time it got stuck at the back of my mouth and dissolved while I tried to get it down. I had a painful burning at

Hello. I discovered I have high blood pressure in March this year. I tried Ramipril 2.5mg but I noticed tinnitus developing, plus it wasn’t effective so I changed to amlodipine 5mg, not effective, increased dose to 10mg, ankles started swelling plus palpitations, plus not hugely effective, so switched

Blood pressure and T
A little while ago someone was asking about blood pressure medication and T. I said I would report back at some time so here I am. When I got my T a year ago I was so floored I wouldn't take any medication of any kind including blood pressure medication. It started in the middle of taking a lot of antibiotics

Old age, pred or just plain stupid?
I meticulously counted out preds and amlodipine before a 4 day trip to Amsterdam. So far so good but, on arrival, found only enough amlodipine for 2 nights..aaaaagh, panic, what now? Found a chemist suspecting he would send me off to a doctor's to then return with a prescription. 'How many would you
