Microvascular Disease/Syndrome X
Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have chest pain/discomfort most days and am very restricted in what I can do. I get breathless and tightness in my chest when I try to do things that most people would take for granted, including light housework, light gardening, lifting/pushing/pulling most things heavier

Meds side effects
Hello, I'm about a month in of taking Ramipril and Amlodipine both 10mg and my question is do the side effects come and go? When I first started I had dizziness and heavy arms which passed after a couple of weeks but seem to have come back. Wonder if this is normal or not really. Thank you 😊

Hello everyone, On my last post I asked if I could have Hashimoto's from my test results as I already have another autoimmune condtion called Psoriasis. I have many of the symptoms associated with Hypo or Hashimotos. Some of you said it was unlikely because of the antibody tests, but also mentioned

AMLODIPINE
Since starting taking amlodipine I have a big problem at night, needing to urinate every 1.5 to 2 hours. Does anyone else have this problem.

LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
A somewhat new development for me has me wondering if there could be any relationship to our illness, so I'm seeking comments. My Blood Pressure has been dropping over time, and I did lose some weight in the last year, but I find it hard to imagine its because of the weight. One year ago I was 254

High BP ongoing
Thank you again to all those people who have posted with reassurance and advice. I have just returned from my GP surgery after seeing a nurse who took some blood to check if Ramirpril is not bad for me and also took my BP. Guess what? It’s was too high again. However I’m concerned that the machine she

Hi has anyone tried Hawthorn tablets for high blood pressure
Hi was put on amlodipine 5mg. I took first one at night. Didn't sleep at all also racing mind. Changed to taking on Morning side effects even worse dizziness shortness of breath panic attack. Felt very unstable on feet, I stopped them. I have decided to try and sort out my BP with diet and exercise.

Amlodipine in morning and Ramipril at night?
I have just yesterday been prescribed 5mg Amlodipine on top of the 5mg of Ramipril I’ve been taking. The GP didn’t specify over the phone if I take them both in the morning (I have been taking my BP tablet in the morning since I started 5 years ago) or to separate them out? I have read that taking them

Amlodipine side effects
Hi Guys I have recently been prescribed Amlodipine for high blood pressure and the first prescription was for 5mg per day, that made no difference to my BP readings, I was then prescribed the same meds at 10mg per day, since taking 10mg per day my calves and lower legs become swollen in the afternoon

Amlodipine and Flecainide
I have been prescribed by GP to take Amlodipine for high blood pressure whilst taking Fleacainide for AF. I have read this can be dangerous, is this the case?

Anxious over up coming blood results
Hi all, I think I am just looking for some reassurance and wise words which I know I’ll get from here. It’s a bit of a saga but I’ll try and be brief . Back in March I tore the calf muscle in my leg and tore a ligament in the other. Weeks on crutches and very swollen ankles and feet along with bruising

Amlodipine Side Effects, short and long term

I felt terrible at first but better now, though frequently tired. I'm wondering if these meds are too much and the cause of my fatigue (I am 69 y.o.) I am also being

Sibo & Medications
I have had diffuse systemic scleroderma since 2011, I am 71 years of age. I had my first bout of sibo a year ago, for which I was prescribed metronidazole followed by co-amoxiclav, that worked perfectly. I have recently had another episode of sibo & took the same drugs, but it seems to be coming back

Irregular heart beat indicator on BP monitor
hello so notwithstanding differences in accuracy between different types of monitors (as well as cuff or wrist), anyone with a monitor that has indicator for irregular heart beat find that this is an accurate indicator in terms of heart beat issues you have. Or does it show even if you don’t have heart
