I also have pins and needles in both my hands and loss of feeling in my fingers. I am on Ramipril, Furosemide, Doxazosin, Fenofibrate and Rivaroxaban tablets and 2 lots of eye drops for glaucoma.

My doc said it is osteoarthritis but I am not convinced.

Hi, I was taken off bisoprolol last year as it was causing reynauds syndrome. I had been on it for 6 years without any problems until they increased the dose.

All the time in my left hand and arm e.g. pins and needles. It's like my hand just seizes up as well. I'm on quite a few Tab!ets including Isosorbide Mononitrate 40mg per day and Bisoprolol 7.5mg per day. Asked the Doctor once, and he said 'Would you rather have that or a Heart Attack'? How do you answer that? I suppose he has a good point though and I'm certainly not going back to him again about it!!

Agree. In all fairness though, they really do have their hands full, especially regarding Side Effects of Tablets. I've had mine changed so many times, I've lost track!

When I was on meds I took a beta blocker (metoprolol), clopidogrel, baby aspirin, statins, and ramipril (blood pressure). I did not experience any of the tingling or pins and needles that you have mentioned.

I have since stopped taking all meds due to changing my diet and lifestyle and addressing the cause of my illness.

I'm hoping to keep artery clear even though iv stents.

It's not the fats, its the carbs (sugar).

I encourage you to watch the following:

Thank you yes I was on a low carb no sugar diet for a year lost a lot of weight

But I didn't balance fats correctly

I overdid them .

Now I do reduce carbs.

I have good carbs wholewheat breads

Brown rice fatwise I'm being sensible

I'll eat healthy fats I'm say oily fish olive oils

The right thing for me people I visit still offer me biscuits they find it hard to handle

Thank you I shall watch the videos tonight oh did you see the magic pill

Glad to hear you are on low-carbs. At your prompting I looked up the trailer for Magic Pill, and it basically says everything the videos I sent you are saying. Fat is in, sugar and carbs are out. We were given the wrong dietary guidance for 50 years and many of us have and are, paying the price. The medical system is complicit and are slow to change.

I too am offered sugary treats at the home of guests - I do say 'no' but it makes things awkward. By now family and friends have adjusted and they offer fruit.

More power to you!

I ll follow you if that's okay I'm new to this I recently had 2 stents.

One more to come I slowly developed angina that took me to my doctor and they said blockage caused silent heart attack.

I was in hospital 2 days had a tents.

I know even with a stent the plaques can be reduced.

I'm determined.

Thankyou
