Return of the Duck. The Saga Continues.......
Good morning guys and gals.Hope everyone is as well as they can be. Well, here's the promised update from a couple of years ago but to be fair, nothing much had happened on the heart surgery front, I'd been in nsr and I have still been contributing replies. Settle down with a strong drink of choice,

Checking medication
Hi, I was chatting to a colleague today about their restless legs which have been unbearable lately. Their doctor put them on Perindopril for high blood pressure, Amiodipine- a calcium channel blocker, and Fenofibrate for high cholesterol. He thought they made his legs so much worse (his doctor doesn't

Cough
I’ve had a persistent, dry and unproductive cough for a good while now. When the many bouts of coughing occur, they are uncontrollable and go on for at least a minute. They are exhausting. They are much worse at night so I am not sleeping well. My cardio nurse suggested that I contact my GP as perindopril

Medication and Memory
I was diagnosed with AFib in July and my daily medication is 12-5 Bisoprolol, as well as Digoxin, Rivaroxaban and Perindopril. I’ve always had a brilliant memory but have recently become concerned that I cannot retain information for very long at all. I also seem to get spurts of random, fleeting and

Insurance company issues
Hi everyone. I'm new to this so I've no idea whether anyone can advise me. I've recently been told I need bypass surgery and it's apparently quite urgent. I've got private health insurance (since 2021, never used), but when I contacted them they said that because I've been on statins since 2015 and am

Doxazosin and anxiety
My GP recently changed my BP meds from 5mg Amlodipine to 1mg Doxazosin as my BP was going a bit low and causing light headedness. Since being on the Doxazosin I have been suffering some anxiety over quite unimportant stuff, very out of character for me. I also feel my heart pounding quite alot when I'm

HBP diagnosed Jan2023. On 5mg Amlodipine. Good response within few months; controlled BP @120/75-130/85 (as at May2024)
Prescribed Amlodipine 5mg daily early Jan 2023. By mid Feb the meds did their job with mild side-effects (numbness in hands/feet with swollen ankles from sitting at a desk for extended periods). These moderated 10 days. 11 months on (Dec 2023) I am happy with my results. I get swollen ankles if I sit

Diagnosed HBP Dec 2022. On Amlodipine 5mg since Jan 2023. All good as at May 2024.
Prescribed Amlodipine 5mg daily early Jan 2023. By mid Feb the meds did their job with mild side-effects (numbness in hands/feet with swollen ankles from sitting at a desk for extended periods). These moderated 10 days. Sitting long periods is no good = swollen ankles. Exercise resolves that within

Isolated Diastolic Hypertension
I have Isolated Diastolic Hypertension. I'm 50 year old female. My average bp reading is 106/93 (highest 125/117 and lowest 95/73) My gp surgery blood pressure readings are higher than my home readings for systolic so two years ago my gp prescribed Amlodipine but I passed out, the hospital said to stop

In pain all the time
I recently went into hospital with buring chest sensation that went into neck, face back and arms. My ECG was the same as 2019. My bloods was showing I'd had a heart attack. In the IC ward, Dr told me he thinks its angina so sent me to the cardiology ward. Over my 5 days there had countless BP checks
