Heart Supplements
Hello, I'm currently on warfarin, omeprazole,
amlodipine
and
valsartan
. Besides trying to exercise and watch my diet, I'm thinking of consuming some heart supplements to strengthen my heart. Has anyone try anything good and can share? How about products from NatureFarm?

WORSE BP MEDS EVER (AMLODIPINE)
Hope I have enough room to write this. My wife and I both took amlodipine 5 mg. I was on it for about 10 years and my wife for 5 years. My wife was having all kinds of problems and I didn't think I had any. Well boy was I wrong. When she quit taking it the withdrawals she had made me quit also. I figured

What alternatives are there to Metoprolol and Valsartan?
My brother of 79 living in a village in Calif. saw a cardio who prescribed metoprolol 50.mg a day and Valsartan 80 mg. This village has no GPs and you have to drive 30 miles to see anyone. If there is an emergency the fire brigade come out with a paramedic, who decides if you need to go to hospital

Blood pressure medications that don’t cause reflux
I am on a combined dose of amlodipine (CCB) and candesartan (ARB), which has been working well for me. Unfortunately, I have realised that amlodipine can cause reflux and other similar issues, which I have been experiencing in the past few months. Just so I am prepared before talking to my doctor,

Slow irregular and missed heart beats
My husband has been on Ramipril for 14 years, together with bisoprolol, aspirin, atorvastatin and Famotidine, without any side effects. However, 3 months ago, he started to have episodes of a slow irregular heart beat around 40 - 45 beats a minute with missing beats. The first 2 visits to A&E a week

solatol with Amlodipine
does anyone take Solatol and amlodipine together? The Docter has just prescribed me for high blood pressure. Also is it best to take in the morning or night.

There is hope
Hi all - I wanted to update everyone on a positive experience and to hopefully debunk some of the myths. For context I live in the Republic of Ireland and also have private medical insurance (this is very common in Ireland). 55, male and generally fit. I was having episodes of waking up, bolt upright

Help: Amlodipine & Poor Sleep
I’ve just had 5mg of Amlodipine added to my Ramipril dose of 10mg - 5mg with the Amlodipine in the morning and 5mg at night - and I am finding it really difficult to sleep. I am waking up in the middle of the night and can’t sleep during the day. The best way to describe is like feeling on edge or that

High Blood Pressure meds with ET+Jak2

My Angina medication update
Hi all, just an update. I've had a few episodes and had to go into hospital with chest pain. Spoke to my cardiologist and he said that he made an error 😮 and should have not been Amlodipine together with Diltiazem as they are the same type of medication. So they've stopped my Amlodipine. My swelling

Blood pressure medication
My doctor has changed my BP medication from Amlodipine to Candesartan because it caused serious problems with my gums. The problem is one of the possible side effects with Candesartan is dizziness which I have a phobia of. She has only put me on a low dose 4mg but I am afraid to take them. Has anyone

Newly diagnosed
Just recently been diagnosed with Hypertension after a GP Healthcheck. Put on Amlodipine, and it has, frankly, made me feel awful. I've had a mobility disability since birth, been in and out of hospital, and now this. It's getting me down. This has hit me hard, and is stressing my wife as well.

Dry cough side effect of Losartan?

Myocarditis - Month 3
Hi all, Sorry its a long one :-( I'm a 44yr old male with no family history of heart problems. I have recently been diagnosed with Myocarditis.

Ramipril, diarrhoea and pred
After doubling my dose of amlodipine due to my BP still being too high, I suffered from poor sleep quality - my fitbit recorded very little if any, deep sleep. I dropped back to 5mg and immediately my sleep improved. But now they've put me on ramipril 2.5mg to try, in addition to the 5mg amlodipine.

Update to my post on Sept5th.
I just wanted to give you an update on my post of 5th August. I took my blood pressure readings twice a day for a week and recorded them on the chart the GP surgery gave me and today I got a telephone appointment with the GP. My average BP reading for the whole week, was 131/67, which the GP said was
