Losartan and Amlodipine
I've been on Losartan 25mg for a few years with no ill effects whatsoever. Recently doctor upped this to 50mg .This had little effect on my readings but came with a fuzzy head/ dizziness. Back down to 25mg along with 5mg Amlodipine but I still have the fuzzy head/ dizziness. BP readings are fine now.

Hypertension and Amlodipine
Hi, community. I have a (new) diagnosis of hypertension, which means yet another tablet to add to my cocktail. The proposed first line treatment, apparently, is Amlodipine. However, I am wary of this drug, in case it worsens my Erythromelalgia, which is pretty bad anyway, and getting worse all by

weight gain, dizziness and poor sleep
I have microvascular heart disease and take Ranolazine, Monomil, Bisoprolol, Amlodipine and Atorvastatin. Despite Ranolazine being increased to 1500 mg daily I am still very breathless with little exertion. I am dizzy if I bend or move quickly, Sleep, or lack of it, is awful and I am gathering weight

Bp and heart rate
Just did my Bp and heart rate, 110/59 bp 47 hr. I think this is low. Diagnosed with Af couple of months ago and put on 1.25mg Bisoprolol with anti coagulants. Been on Amlodipine for several years as well. Doctor seemed happy enough with my last round of tests, but I think results are lowish. Any opinions

Recovery from AV Fistula Surgery
Day 3 of Recovery from the AV Fistula Surgery You don’t know what you have until it is gone. Only having one arm is a real challenge. The next day, the block that was put in was still there, but much less. I had tingles in my hand and I could bend it and pickup things, if they were light. It is amazing

Doxazosin
I’m currently on Amlodipine and Ramipril for high blood pressure. I then lost my father and didn’t want to know about what other medications I could try. He wants me to try Doxazosin The prescription is waiting for me at the pharmacy and I am just wondering if it did work for someone? I am not nervous

Felodipine
I’m 70 I had a couple of spikes in blood pressure this year, both times when in a lot of pain - a root filling needed and a case of shingles and was advised to see GP. I would say my average blood pressure has been between 130 and 140/90 so outside the normal range I started on felodipine six weeks

Does anyone else on Bisoprolol get occassional spikes taking diastoylic BP very high?
Hi allAfter Cardiology put me on 2.5mg Bisoprolol last Nov for Bigemniny & (8%) Ventricular Ectopics I discovered that although it reduces my BP lower than the BP meds i was already on, it also occassionally spikes my diastolic BP sky high. GP said it shouldn't do this & to discuss it with the Cardiologist

cardiologist told me to stop taking amlodipine 5mg and start taking enalapril-hctz 5-12.5mg for atrial fibrillation.
I had atrial fibrillation for at least 15 years the dr. say don't worry about it. I had a mini stroke in 2008, I didn't take my blood pressure medicine plus I was a heavy drinker and ate everything that went in my mouth :). I cleaned up my act since I've been on this website lost weight, eating healthy

Change of meds
I have been taking isosorbide mononitrate for coronary artery spasm but recently changed to amlodipine following the cardiologists discharge notes. Obviously I need to give the new meds time to work after 10 days of taking them. The symptoms still come and go and can feel my heart sensations more. Anxiety

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

Indapamide and stomach bloating
Hi, I suffer from high BP and am now on my fourth tablet. Amlodipine and felodipine made me swell everywhere, Lercanidipine gave me an all over body rash, now I'm trying 2.5mg Indapamide. Started taking it 6 days ago and from day 3 I've been suffering with a hard bloated stomach, anyone else suffered

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

I discovered Metoprolol may cause arthralgia- myalgia
https://www.the-rheumatologist.org/article/case-report-metoprolol-induced-arthralgia/ I decided to not take that beta-blocker anymore. I still will take Amlodipine and Lisinopril and may ask to go on carvedilol again and still have a bunch of carvedilol pills I can take. It was after I was switched
