Update on Omlesartan/Candesartan debacle!
hi folks, I thought I would give you a quick update. I started on the Olmesartan (low dose) on Monday morning. By this morning my resting heart rate had fallen into my boots and I could barely function. Over 48 hours it dropped from the usual 74 bpm to 57 bpm. I felt awful. I also started with a runny

Olmesartan (Omesar) and NSAIDs
My doctor has put me on Olmesartan 10mg in addition to the Amlopidine 5gm I'm already on. To further lower my BP from 150. The patient leaflet says not to use NSAIDs with the Olmesartan. The doctor is away til Monday,so I'm asking the community if they have any experience of this. I use naproxen

How low can you go ? Blood pressure GP policy and general guidance
Hi I have had high blood pressure for over 20 years. At some point in my late 20s (I am now 51), a GP decided I met the criteria for high blood pressure and prescribed medication. For most of the next 20 years I had an annual or semi annual check at the surgery and a blood test every year. They would

Alternatives to Amlodipine
Hello I am 51 years old male, and for many years my blood pressure had been controlled by 100mg of Losartan (ACE Inhibitor) but my GP changed my meds this year adding Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker), firstly 5mg and now 10mg. My blood pressure now averages around 117/75. Before (just on Losartan

Hypertension/Postural Hypotension
Has anyone any experience of dealing with hypertension/postural hypotension please? I seem to be going around in circles. I was on Bisoprolol 1.25mg for tachycardia for several years, then hypertension started and we added in Amlodipine 5mg. All was fairly well until 18 months ago, BP going higher

Af and coughs
Had a niggly cough for several months and then diagnosed with Af. Now on beta blockers, anti coagulants, gastro tablets and amlodipine. Now have a stinking cold and cough is really annoying. My question is, does af cause the cough or do the meds affect the cough. I do not feel breathless and I can walk

A Good Day's Night
AFib status: Permanent for at least the past two years. 75 years old. Medication: Apixaban, 5mg Bisoprolol, Amlodipine, 5mg Ramipril, Atorvastatin. No offers by my doctor of a cardioversion or an ablation. I have been fairly stable on those meds since it was confirmed that I had Permanent Afib.

coronary artery spasm
Hi. I have been told that I most probably have coronary artery spasm as get chest pain if I rush especially if it’s cold and I’ve just eaten or had a drink of something. It started in 2021 and I had loads of tests and they said my arteries were clear. They put me on Atorvastatin and low dose aspirin.
