Hi, I'm new here, hoping for some advice. Last Wednesday I was put on candasatan 8mg,,I was ok for 2 days then developed lower belly pain,worsen tinnitus!, and a panic feeling..I haven't (and not) taken any meds today as I don't want to feel like I did yesterday. I have tried all the usual meds and couldn't tolerate them.i have been advised to see our local in house pharmacist as they know exactly what combination, and the side effects better than a gp? Has anyone heard of this befor?,,

Hi 07474683545, I was surprised a couple of years ago to find out how much pharmacists are able to influence your mix of medications. 'In-house' pharmacists often work in conjunction with GPs in a practice as they have more time to titrate (measure and adjust) your mix of medications so they work optimally for you. I wouldn't have any fear about doing this. It will be with the knowledge and consent of your GPs.

hi

see my post today- I am having problems with medication for lowering BP so have started walking 3-4 times a day ( always had one walk)- despite bad knees! and also am losing weight- i was at the top of the health BMI range for me but have lost a few pounds and will continue with this. I can't take medication if it causes Atrial flutter `9 see post I wrote today!) You may find any answers I receive helpful too
