Heart medication swollen bruised lower leg
i Had a heart attack a month ago although heart not damaged, it was due to cholesterol and have been on the usual cocktail of drugs Statins ACE inhibitors aspirin beta blocker and have developed a swollen bruised lower leg and cough. My reading suggests it’s the Rampiril. Any thoughts very gratefully

To asprin or not to asprin
Iam a 33 year old male and am currently on ACE inhibitors for bp. I used to get random stabbing like pains in heart and I went to doctor and he performed an ECG which said I may have an abnormal T wave and RBB. But he also said it may be a coronary spasm. That was about 2 months ago. He referred me to

Weak muscle tone
Hello, My husband seems to have weak muscle tone. He cannot bend his knees as he used to and his hands don't seems to have the grip they used to have. He is on beta blockers and ace inhibitors for heart failure, has anyone else experience this ? could it be related to the drugs?

Tissue Mitral Valve Replacement 1yr on - and coming OFF meds to use Alternative Integrated Supplements...increase pulse & can't gain weight!
1 - I've been fairly quiet on here, although did contribute a little some months back. However, my resting heart rate (over night, during sleep) has risen from 59-65 to 70-75 over the last month or so. I had an echocardiogram a couple of months back, which showed my ejection fraction lower than before

Anagrelide and heart issues
Hi. Just wanted to give an update. Am being closely monitored by cardio now and have been put on diuretics and ace inhibitors, which has helped. Now waiting on the results of various heart scans. Oh, and I was also taken off Anagrelide! My issues started when one of the doctors increased my Anagrelide

Low iron and connection to ACE inhibitors cough
I had repeat bloods recently and the only issue was slightly low iron resulting in low hemoglobin levels. This can be a result of my meds although I think my mainly plant based diet also contributes. So before I rush o supplements I will be seeing which foods I can increase to increase my iron intake

AF /heart failure. I was "accidentally" diagnosed during a preop about 18 months ago. (I'd complained of shortness of breath and other things previously)Both atria affected. To cut the story, I've only been on a blood thinner since, not seen my doctor for 3months and only very recently become aware

ACE Inhibitors can cause a decrease in kidney function with Cox 2 Inhibitors
I stopped taking Meloxicam a couple of weeks ago. From searching the web, I read that some doctors prescribe ACE inhibitors (lisopril, quinapril, etc) for CKD. I used a drug interaction checker and it is recommended to not take an ACE Inhibitor along with a Cox 2 Inhibitor (Meloxicam, Celebrex, etc

Any suggestions to manage orthostatic hypotension?
My Dad has been diagnosed with PD - 4 years ago. He is on lc and that controls his tremors and relieves rigidity. When he reduced his lc recently those symptoms were significantly worse. Mostly he manages pretty well in his new home environment, but suffers increasingly with fainting / dizzy spells

My blood pressure has been hovering 130/80 to 140/95, in last five weeks. My most recent blood work: eGFR = 106, electrolytes well-balanced. My most recent urine check: 0.3g/L Proteinuria, no Hematuria, no Sediments. Is this renal hypertension? I need help, a little scared. How can I drop my BP without

Post heart attack meds side effects
Hi I’m 41 and had a heart attack 2 months ago. Although I’m back at work I still get really tired at times and often feel nauseous and light headed. BP is stable so presuming it’s just side effects of ACE inhibitors and beta blockers ??? Has anyone else had similar issues

Elevated Creatinine and ACEi
I found some interesting articles about ACE inhibitors causing creatinine levels to rise! In fact, it seems very common and almost expected. Has any of your doctors ever mentioned this? I wonder if they take this into consideration when looking at creatinine results? I read that a 20% increase in creatinine

Ace Inhibitors and Statins
Hi everyone, I need some advice please. I was called in to see my gp yesterday for the result of my blood test, CKD 3a. My Triglycerides are 2.4, high. He has put me on ace inhibitors with a blood test in 2 weeks as he said I am at risk of cardiovascular disease and will have to go on statins later.

Ckd 3 diagnosis
I have recently been diagnosed with stage 3 ckd. I’m devastated to say the least. I am 52 years old. I have hypertension and have had to use NSAIDS for years for pain. I can no longer use them. My gp thinks this may have cause it. I have tried Tylenol and it seems to make me bleed also. I initially had

Candesartan
Hi, does anybody have cramp type pain, hips, knees, tops of feet? I suspect it might be caused by Candesartan. I have been prescribed these as I discovered the hard way that I am intolerant to ACE Inhibitors.

Insomnia after taking Armour for the first time
Hi everyone! Has anyone experienced insomnia after taking Armour or another NDT for the first time? I took 1/2 grain yesterday at 8 a.m. (with STTM thinking that the starting dose is 1 grain) and could not at all fall asleep in the evening. ETA: Sorry, maybe more information is indeed needed.
