Echo cardiogram shows no lasting heart damage ("surprisingly" the technician has put!) but all EKG tests show Afib present at all times. I am unaware of it, but I have to say I feel like I aged ten years following

Ramipril 2.5 mg
In my previous post I mentioned being prescribed this on top of Felodipine and Doxasosin. Is it advisable to take all 3 at the same time, or should I separate them throughout the day?

How long does it take for the Amlodipine to settle Blood Pressure?
I posted something a couple of weeks ago and buried in the text was a question that I think I’m finding the answer to myself: How long does it take for the Amlodipine to settle BP and steady Palpitations or is this fluttering, anxious feeling going to remain? And I have found a good link specific to

Vitamin D
Just wondering if it is ok to take vitamin D supplements with heart meds, or even to increase vitamin D rich foods. Currently take: Ivabradine, atorvastatin, losartan, aspirin, amlodipine, amitriptyline.

Amlodipine and Atorvastatin.
My cardio nurse prescribed amlodipine and atorvastatin for my SVT and AF. I read on the statin insert that it must not be taken if on amlodipine so I have not taken any. Does anyone here take these together?

Osteoarthritis knee pain eased
I have followed a similar path to many of painkillers and treatments. But two months ago I was so lucky to find some relief. And I can't put this down to any particular treatment or medication. Through a 24 hour day, and for different treatments, I take Glucosamine. Rivaroxaban. Amlodipine. Atorvastatin

Unexpected rise in BP
I have mild / moderate angina and have been prescribed amlodipine to get my blood pressure down. After about three weeks of the medication my BP was coming down quite steadily but then I got a cold virus and it's right up there again. Is that to be expected?

Anxiety 1 year after CABG
Hi I had a double CABG July 2018 when I was 50. Initially everything seemed fine afterwards and I had very little pain or discomfort. Since about February this year I have had more discomfort from my chest and left shoulder. Sometimes I can tell it is muscular but sometimes I have anxiety that it could

Simvastatin
I am 76 years old and have taken Simvastatin 20mg and Amlodipine 5mg for 16 years, and Bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg for 5 years - prescribed due to elevated Systolic blood pressure only. The affects that may be caused by Simvastatin are muscle cramps in lower legs for 16 years that have increased over time

Amlodipine and Raynauds, fluid retention etc
I was prescribed Amlodipine for Raynauds even though I always have low blood pressure. They don't seem to do anything . I also suffer fluid retention in my feet and legs and extreme stiffness ,which I'm not sure is caused by Raynauds or the medication and sometimes end up with Cellulitis in my feet and
