Losartan potassium 50mg.
This is my first time of posting on this forum, I would appreciate any replies. I have been taking 5mg Amlodipine for some time but am experiencing fluid retention and pain especially in legs and feet so my GP has now prescribed Losartan 50mg instead. I also have stage 3 kidney disease. 50mg seems

Amlodipine?
We've read here that Amlodipine could worsen RLS symptoms. I can't find references to trusted sources, i.e. Mayo Clinic, Dr. Buchfuhrer, etc. Will someone post a link for me? I am hoping to convince my husband's doctor to change his prescription away from calcium channel blockers. Thanks so much!

Felodipine
Ok- been on a variety of anti hypertensives for about 10 years- Ramipril made me cough continually so a couple of others were tried and eventually settled on Losartan 50mg. Until about 3 months ago when it seemed to stop working. Dose increased with no effect so GP added in amlodipine 5mg- cue awful

Anyone with gastroparesis?
Hi all. I have gastroparesis (slow emptying of the stomach). This started when I went into failure in fall 2021, and just after my first and only bout of diverticulitis. I am now even wondering if what I had was that. Anyway, I received a kidney transplant in August 2022 and am doing well except for

Doxazosin
I was diagnosed with compensated cirrhosis in 2017. Today I was prescribed Doxazosin, an alpha blocker, for palpitations and hypertension. This is supplementary to the Irbesartan and Felodipine I've been on for many years. But I'm not happy with the leaflet on the medication, which lists liver problems

Monster Returns
Without provocation (no triggers), I startled awake in Afib which turned into tachycardia and has continued for 48 hours now. So after a respite of nine months from my FOURTH ablation [& coming off flecainide (due to left bundle block), but still on metoprolol ER, amlodipine, and Xarelto], I’m beginning

Substitute Eplerenone for Prednisone with Zytiga?
I am taking Eligard + Zytiga + Prednisone (5mg). I would like to stop the prednisone and substitute eplerenone (Inspra), if that is viable. I found this exchange from earlier this year from Gearhead, with comments from Tango65 and T_A, among others. Has anyone stopped prednisone altogether in

Going through tests, really really worried and would like some support and advice please?
I am 40 years old, female. I have had heart palpitations, racing heart and high blood pressure for over a year now. I feel like I am a little short of breath and doing minimal exertion such as getting dressed or walking up the stairs sets these heart issues off. I currently take 5mg Amlodipine and 2mg

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

I met an Endocrinolgist yesterday
I had a letter out of the blue a few weeks ago 1 week after I ordered a private finger prick test from the UK MMH firm. I asked the phlebotomy dept to bring the appt with them sooner as I was keen to drop the Levothyroxine sooner rather than later, also I wanted to get a 9pm appt with them to see what

Amlodipine strange smell and stinging eyes
All I have been on 5mg of amlodipine for about 5 weeks, my blood pressure has increased in that time. I have noticed over the last ten days that i am smelling a smell like a dirty over is turned on, rather than smelling something in particular the air feels polluted. My eyes stings as well. This

Bleeding gums and aspirin (after scale and polish)
On Thursday I had a scale and polish, and have since found one particular part of my gums bleeding continiously. I have been partly assured by finding evidence on another health forum that this is fairly normal with a deep clean. However, I'm concerned that with aspirin it's might be an issue. Basically

tummy issues
I’m on Losartan and Felodipine for high blood pressure since 2021. But I am having nausea and upper tummy pain. GP prescribed Omeprazole which I’ve been taking since November. Nausea better but tummy pain still bad at times. I think it’s the medication but the pharmacist at GP surgery says not. Does
