Off beta block and Flec prior to Ablation?
I’m scheduled for my fourth (final?) ablation this time for atrial flutter. The EP asks me to stop taking Metoprolol (50mg 2x) and Flecainide (50mx 2x) four days prior. Additionally to stop amlodipine day of procedure. What are peoples’ experiences who have done this? I’m currently back in NSR due to

Flutter & Afib
I'm in permanent fib for last 8 years. Recently getting a flutter. No pain or discomfort just a bit weird. Came off of Bisoprolol and Amlodipine couple of years ago due to side effects. Doctor agreed. I know I have to make another appointment but would like to arm myself with some knowledge before.

Can I take my 112mg levothyroxine first thing in the morning and at the same time as my 5mg Felodipine? (Blood pressure tablets)
Hi everyone, I usually take my levothyroxine on its own at about midnight. However, I possibly now need to take sleep aid tablets at night, so I am thinking of changing times and taking my levothyroxine first thing in the morning instead. However, first thing in the morning I have to take my high blood

? Bursitis
I recently had the sudden problem of swollen legs and feet, the doctor told me that I should stop taking Felodipine ( which I have taken for twenty years) and it worked, which raises questions about what the heck is that all about ? However I am left with what could be described as giant blisters of

Uh oh! 🤪
My BP has been a bit erratic for the last few months, especially first thing in the morning, pre meds. So I've been in touch with the Dr and had Amlodipine added to the cocktail and its had the right effect but there's still room for improvement, so it was suggested I take the Amlodipine in the evening

Teva felodipine
I have been on 2.5mg felodipine for a good couple of years, it’s a different make every time a prescription is dispensed. The last lot I got was Teva Folpik and have been really poorly with burning and pins and needles sensation throughout the body, itching, feeling nauseous, dry mouth, abdominal pain

Stroke on Apixaban
I was taking Apixaban for paroxysmal AF after a catheter ablation several years ago, which mostly cured me of the debilitating bouts of AF which I was suffering. The paroxysmal AF was hard for me to notice but detected by a monitor, and 'self terminating', so I declined Flecainide as I didn't fancy

Abiraterone, prednisone, eplerenone, and blood pressure
I’ve been on Lupron and abiraterone + prednisone for three years, which has maintained my PSA < 0.1. But my BP has been increasing even though I’ve been taking benazepril 20 mg/day plus amlodipine besylate 2.5 mg/day for many years. Average BP over Jan 2022 has been 167/80, which obviously isn’t good

Amlodipine Besylate and Migraine(ubrelvy) medication
Hello, I am new to this site. I am taking 5mg of amlodipine besylate and 20 mg of atenolol for my blood pressure.

Normal Life?
Good Afternoon I went through two years of having AF periods which (as par for the course) has become continuous since November. However I have no symptoms and continue to live my life normally. I’m an active gardener and as I live by the sea I love walking along the beach. My heart rate averages
