AF confused about heart rate
Hi all, I’m newly diagnosed with AF, it was initially picked up by my Fitbit in August then again in September. I started on Bisoprolol 2.5mg and Apaxiban 5mg twice a day in October. As far as I understand AF is a very fast heart rate, mine was 174, since starting the Bisoprolol my resting HR is now

Hi all I’ve been on Apixaban 5mg twice a day and Bisoprolol 2.5mg for six weeks. Last night I had sickness and diorrreah.

Blood Pressure Meds side effects
Hi, I’m Steve 57 yrs old and I have tried two different types of Amlodipine for high BP, although the meds do lower my BP I have they both give me very red sore swollen fingers. The doctors keep saying it’s not the meds and it is dermatitis, but I absolutely know it’s the meds as both times the problem

Low BP
I've used Amlodipine for long time to help Raynauds, recently BP has become quite low so have stopped Amlodipine. Has anyone used Naftidrofuryl as it has been suggested as doesn't lower BP.

Doxazosin
My GP has suggested I try Doxazosin as an alternative to Amlodipine that I currently take to see if it stops the light headedness and tinnitus I have been experiencing. When I was first diagnosed with high BP in December 2023 I was started on Enalapril but had to change to Amlodipine as I suffered badly

Most of us here have Tinnitus, we all react differently to the Drugs. Some Medicines work better for us and not for others. I am trying to collect some research data, to also help myself, as I have pretty bad Tinnitus & to try some different Medicines that might work for me. There is a lot of info out

No meds
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
