following recent posts now on meds as shown below but feel totally wiped out has reduced BP but think it’s too low now, do I continue and just get used to it or discuss with cardiologist. Just feel on merry go round. Anyone else been through this when new meds are added. Currently on ASPRIN 75mcg, AMLODIPINE 5mg, Losartan 50 mcg twice a day, and Bisoprolol 1.25 plus long standing thyroxine 75 mcg which GP reduced from 100 about a mont h ago. Thank you.

Hello :-)

Yes you need to talk to your Cardiologist about this if you need to talk to someone before you can speak with them then try and speak with your Doctor but I would get advise first

Let us know how you get on :-) x

Thank you think will contact Cardiolgist as have more faith in him as regular GP difficult to see /contact ever since he started a private practice as well as managing his National Health List. Had to go privately for my recent tests with Cardiologist as wait was nearly just before Christmas 🎄

when you see cardiologist make sure you have the evidence written down to present to him/her. Maybe evening readings and morning readings. After eating/before eating, if there is a variation. If you can, take someone with you to make notes and jolt your memory of you are feeling a bit rushed.

Not what you're looking for?
