Hi. Ever since I was diagnosed with unstable angina and had a couple of stents fitted I’ve needed to wee much more often. Is this ‘normal’, the medications or unrelated? I’m not sure that I can face another visit to my GP.

It may be medication. The main ones associated with frequent urination are diuretics. Furosemide is the most commonly perscribed - are you on this? If not maybe post a list of your medication.
I’ll post my med list

Sorry othing stands out there. In fact Amlodipine, a CCI (Calcium Channel Inhibitor), can cause fluid retention in the form of oedema. Do you have any other symptoms such as feverishness or discomfort when urinating?
Hi RATP. I see you've only been diagnosed in the last few weeks, so assume this cocktail of drugs is equally new. It takes up to a couple of months for the body to get used to this sudden assault of chemicals, and your extra weeing may be a reaction to this which may improve gradually. Alternatively, are you diabetic or pre-diabetic? That can cause excess weeing. xx
