NTproBNP blood test
I had the above blood test on 27th October. Was finally told the results today via snail mail. BNP is showing as 1278. I'm assuming this confirms heart failure? Cardiac nurse is asking GP to prescribe me Furosemide 40mg for three days then 20mg daily after. I have constant afib following a massive pulmonary

Amlodipine
Hello Gents. Since October 7th when I was given Eligard I have experienced severe constipation and elevated blood pressure (high 150-160). Previously I have taken Lupron every 3 months for the past 4 years. Realistically if Kaiser had reviewed my medical files prior to administering Eligard they would

Felodipine
Hi. I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure for about 12 months now. I was first started on Amlodipine. Very quickly I had bleeding gums, a cough and shortness of breath. It was stopped. I was then given Ramipril and suffered the same side effects. I was then given another medication to try that

Amlodipine or Losartin?
Hi everyone, I'm new to your group. I have been taking 50 milligrams of Atenolol and 12.5 of Hydrochlorot for my b.p. for many years. My recent ekg showed my heartbeat is a little slow. Dr. Wants we to cut back to 25 on the Atenolol and we'll be adding Amlodipine or Losartin. I really need my Beta blocker

Heart meds and Lansozaprole
I had a mild heart attack in 2017 and currently take Amlodipine, Atorvastatin, Ramipril and low dose aspirin. My doctor wants me to take lansozaprole, supposedly to protect my stomach from the long term effect of aspirin. I don't like the look of the side effects and so far haven't taken it. Does anyone
