coronary artery spasm
Hi. I have been told that I most probably have coronary artery spasm as get chest pain if I rush especially if it’s cold and I’ve just eaten or had a drink of something. It started in 2021 and I had loads of tests and they said my arteries were clear. They put me on Atorvastatin and low dose aspirin.

Lower back pain
Hi My name is Gulshan Munshi. I am 68 years old and suffering from lower back pain which travels down to my legs which makes it very difficult to walk or sit for a longer period of time. I get kind of strange type of pain in my right leg e.g. vein or bone getting on top of each other and until that comes

Thyroxine and amlodipine
I started taking amlodipine for high blood pressure a few weeks ago. I have been taking it at night, well away from my thyroxine which I take an hour before breakfast every day. The practice nurse said I would be fine to take the two medications together, but I wondered if any of the thyroid experts

Entresto
Have just been prescribed Entresto sacubitril/valsartan 24mg/26mg to be taken twice a day morning and evening. Has anyone else been prescribed this? If so, how did you get on with it and did your blood pressure suddenly drop to below 110/70? Thank you.

Blood Pressure Tablets
Hi - my GP prescribed Amlodipine 5mg one tablet per day for my high blood pressure. Only a couple of days later I saw my Consultant regarding my Afib who changed Amlodipine for Adizem 120mg once a day. I also take Flecainide 50mg twice a day for Afib. Does anyone else take Adizem and have any side

Doxazosin
It’s almost 2 years since my heart attack and triple bypass. I’m being started today on Doxazosin 1mg as my BP is high. I can only tolerate Amlodipine 5mg because of swelling ankles and legs and Ezetamide made my pulse go crazy. This had been ongoing for about a year. I take max dose of Ramipril.

Hello, I developed Tinnitus last November after a cocktail of Atorvastatin, Amlodipine and Felodipine. Symptoms slowly worsening during the course of this year. My surgery insisted Atorvastatin was not part responsible and advised it could help with tinnitus symptoms. In desperation I restarted

Felodipine
Hi, I've recently had my BP med switched from Lercanidipine to Felodipine. I'm finding Felodipine is giving me bad headaches, has anyone else found this an issue and if so did anything help? I'm unable to take Ibuprofen as I'm asthmatic, the only thing which helped was Syndol and that's not available

Later my cardiologist became concerned that.my dosage of bisoprolol was too high 7.5 mg and reduced it to 5. My blood pressure became high again and I was prescribed amlodipine again. This did

BP tablets and erection
Hi all. Currently on 5mg ramipril and 10 mg amlodipine . So far not really reducing BP. No real side affects apart from tiredness and more worrying it is affecting my libido and ability to achieve erection. Anyone else suffer like this? Any solution? Could tolerate if BP was coming down.
