Status Update Post-atrial Cardioäblation:
Had rapid atrial quivering/fibrillation develop in Feb '21 while I was focused on avoiding a second heart attack after having had a major one 9½ years earlier. Got put on meds to see if AFib could be managed that way but worsened to the point that by Aug, my heart was tracked at 244 BPM and I'd collapsed

Find myself back on the circuit so to speak but am prescribed Valsartan for high BP and Finasteride for BPH for some years so ED the problem. Therefore am I able to safely take any of the ED medications?

Valsartan and erection
I recently started valsartan for bp. I take it at bedtime and wake up early AM with an erection. Has anyone else had this happen? From what I’ve heard it’s usually the opposite.

Valsartan and cancer
Does the BP med Valsartan still contain carcinogen? I have recently started taking without knowing about it's recall until I read about it online. I am a ten year survivor of cancer and have genetic risk for it.

Acid reflux, a side effect?
I’ve been on Amlodipine 10mg a day with no review for nearly two years. During that time, and I think gradually, I’ve developed silent acid reflux which is now a problem. Has anyone else had this? Is it a side effect? I’m going to do a week of BP readings to convince the doctor of average reading and

Aching muscles, especially legs
Hi guys, had MI and stents last July, followed by more stents and DEB treatment in April. I’ve been really struggling with aching legs, and shoulders. Anyone else have this? On rosuvastatin, Ranazoline, Amlodipine, Ramapril and aspirin. I know to talk to GP, but Would thoughts from like minded people

Any side effects fromLosartan? I want to stop amlodipine

I list these below in no particular order: insomnia heightened anxiety weight gain (not sure about this as I started in amlodipine

AMLODIPINE AND CANDERSARTAN
I have been advised to take Amlodipine alongside the Candersartan I already take, for optimal low blood pressure. Anyone else on this combination?

Blood Pressure tablets
I have raised blood pressure. Prof. Graham Hughes recommended Bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg tablets. These have been very good. However my blood pressure has risen slightly - I have tried amlodipine 5mg and also Ramipril 2.5mg and I have had side effects from both. My GP is not very helpful. Anybody

White Coat Syndrome - when to treat
Hi, Looking for some advice. I have always had white coat syndrome (WCS), not just at the doctor/ hospital but can also give it to myself when taking my own BP readings. In November I went on to Amlodipine (5mg), and this seemed to help but of course, could equally have been the opposite effect to white

Irratic blood pressure
Hi there I am new to the chat. I am still having irratic blood pressure readings after being on high doses of Valsartan. My blood pressure will be stable for a while and then shoot back up again. When it is stable I take half f if the dose. I wonder if that is the problem. Please advise
