Levo and blood pressure
Hi, i started taking levothyroxine 25mcg about 4 weeks ago. My blood pressure is now above range 160/80 it was 20 to 30 points lower before, I take losartan potassium 100mg and felodipine 10mg to control my hypertension and it has been stable for the last 10 years. I am concerned my gp may see this

Coping methods - Reynaud's and Erythromelalgia?
I've had Reynaud's as long as I can remember, since a young girl. Last year I started getting incredible burning, itching, pain with red swelling in my feet whenever they were exposed to warmth. I'd never really liked wearing shoes, but it got downright painful. No blankets over my feet. No socks

Review My Af Status
I have now been in continuous af since at least 2008. I consider it to be regularly irregular! I have had one cardioversion which failed after six days and no ablations. I had a single bypass and a replacement aortic valve in 2015 at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital which can only be described

Vibration in chest
Hi I'm new here and I'm thankful I found this site! I am having a strange sensation in my chest and I'm wondering if the 112mcg dose of Levothyroxin is too much for me or if it's not enough. I don't even know how to describe it but it's very disconcerting, very uncomfortable. Like a buzzing or vibration

Levodopa and my wife's b/p tab interact synergistically :)
I struggle within our home, that is looking more like a nursing environment, as the sole caregiver for my dear spouse. She is afflicted with multiple sclerosis. Caring for her is physically and emotionally stressful, which effects my b/p. This post is to inform of a happy discovery that may benefit those

Felodipine and EM?
Have been given Felodipine to help lessen the chilblains I've developed on my toes as well as the Reynaud's. Wondering, though, if anyone has had experience with it with EM? Will try it, but little concerned (granted, I am not a doc, just don't want flares worse!) as it's supposed to make the blood

How can I prevent an ulcer developing?
Hi all, I have CREST and have had Raynaud's for about 8 years now. I have had ulcers on my lower legs, and one on my index finger tip (excruciating when it was developing, much worse than on the legs). The finger one has almost healed (had it for nearly 5 months), but is still producing some discharge

Is it the Amlodipine
I have been having some terrible feeling heart issues and think it's the Amlodipine. I notice when I take it my heart has this tense feeling and when I am lying down I'll notice that my heart gives a loud thump and actually hard enough to sometime shake my whole body. I was on 2.5mg now on 5mg but found

What "should" I be feeling like?
I've had GCA for 3 years now and my prednisolone dose is down to 5mg. I had thought that by now I would be feeling a lot closer to "normal" than I actually am. I still feel extreme exhaustion, like being completely drained of energy, not really tired. Also as if I have permanent flu. I have very bad

Confused about meds. Help pls?
Confused about meds. Hi I have Paryx AF, and am taking Pradaxa and bisoprolol, now it seems I may have angina too😬😬 I have been prescribed with Amlodipine but one the side effects it mentions for this drug is irregular heartbeat? It seems this one might be working against the other two? I'm confused

ED problems
I'm 47 years old and lost my wife slightly younger wife 18 months ago to cancer. In the last 6 or 7 years during her illness sex was very infrequent, and I both our libido's dropped, due to lifestyle and illness pressures. I'm now engaging in sexual relations but finding it difficult to maintain erections

Amlodipine for Raynauds
I have seen a rheumatologist who is doing blood works to investigate the cause of raynauds. he has prescribed me Amlodipine at 2.5mg for the raynauds. I am a bit concerned with talking this, as I understand it is a blood pressure med, I have normal blood pressure at the moment, but all my life have always

Vitamins
It only occured to me today that some vitamins are not appropriate to take while on Apixaban. I also take Bisporol and Amlodipine. I take regularly Lutein, Omega 3,6,9 and currently vitamin C. Are any of you aware of articles, advice or opinion scientific or otherwise why one should refrain from taking

Beta Blockers - What to do about side effects
About fourteen days ago I started taking Bisoprolol. I had no previous AF problems though I have been on other hypertension medicines which for various reasons I now no longer take. (I could regale you with the eight years of complications caused by the likes of Perindopril and Amlodipine but maybe
