Do you have access to a respiratory helpline ?

No only 111 service and they wouldn't give me a nebuliser last time saying they didn't have one on board I certainly do not want to go into hospital

Is it the indapamide, or the amlodipine causing these side effects? If you look up the side effects of the two drugs, you will see amlodipine is the more likely culprit.

I was on indapamide only

It's possible to check the side effects of all your meds online; Look for the manufacturer's information sheet first as these will be less sensationalist. Wishing you all the best.

Yes from tablets well I have struggling with my breathing since Sunday phoned docs Mon wouldn't come out said take antibotics and steroids I'm having breathing tests on the 1st Oct they won't do them if I've been on steroids so just took antibotics but struggled to breathe still so called 111 out they sent ambulance blood pressure bit raised ECG good said I could go to hospital but they won't do anything watch me for a few hours then tell me I can go home anyway paramedics spoke to a doctor at my doctor's surgery said my doc would phone in the morning and come out if I need him too I told paramedics they wouldn't come out yesterday so won't hold my breathe I will have to try another blood pressure tablet but don't want any more problems why can't they take me in for a couple of days try new meds make sure I'm ok with them then send me home feel so scared to try new meds after side effects last time
