Hi everyone I finally had my results of the MRI done Feb 1st. It showed previous peri myocarditis and some decrease cardiac intake . The cardiologist told me that this result should not be the cause of my daily chest pain .I asked about the myocarditis and he said it could reoccur and will need anti-inflammatory

Nice cuppa with a side of palpitations 😂
I've had palpitations since December. Also on Amlodipine for high BP since January. I'm currently waiting for the results of a 24 hour ECG to see what's going on with these palpitations. Just recently I've noticed that while I'm drinking any hot drink it seems to set off palpitations almost immediately

Rheumatology second opinion appointment
Hello everyone, so my husband had his second opinion with another NHS rheumatologist yesterday (same hospital), and I'd really appreciate people's thoughts on some of the things he said, as follows: 1) The pain, stiffness, heat and swelling across my husband's knuckles and proximal joints (both hands

silly question possibly. My doctor has change my dose of amlodipine from 5mg to 10mg. I have to pick it up later. I have some 5mg left, could I just double up on the 5mg as I normally take my pills in the morning rather than wait for the chemist to open. I know, silly question. (I know you can’t give

amlodipine
I am just out of hospital having suffered an atypical heart attack (no pain) and have been put on Losartan to lower blood pressure. Unfortunately it is dropping diastolic pressure to much. Doctor wanted to try a ca channel blocker and I think I read on this site that some people were able to take amlodipine
