Confused by what’s happened (54)
Hello community. This is my first post. I’m 54 and last Tuesday was admitted to A&E with a mild heart attack. (Does mild make it any less of a thing?..) 3 blood tests showed troponin of 16, then 23 & 23, and I understand that means something did happen, even though all 4 ECGs looked ok. I was

Amlodipine side effects
I've been on amlodipine since Jan and recently started having slight blurred vision. I see this is one of the possible side effects, but I thought it would have happened before now if it was that, but I also have blepharitis which it could be causing it. Any thoughts?

Indapamide
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone was on the drug Indapamide? This is diuretic that also helps control blood pressure. I have been on Amlodipine for about a year and it has kept my blood pressure spot on but I am suffering very swollen ankles and feet, a common side effect I am told. The dr therefore

Diverticular Disease and Sarcoidosis
Hi I have just been diagnosed with the above having thought I just had IBS. I am currently taking Losartan but this is causing irritating cough which is also an issue with the Sarcoidosis. Previously had Amlodipine but that caused bowel issues. Anyone had similar? The pharmacist must be getting fed

Recent post about sinus congestion and BP drugs - I can't find it...
I remember seeing a post which I think mentioned sinus congestion possibly related to drugs used for high blood pressure but now can't find it. My husband has been taking ramipril and amlodipine for several years and for the last 2-3 years has suffered intermittent but significant congestion - feeling

What could be causing tachycardia?
Hi lifesavers, Someone has asked if the tachycardia I have been getting lately may be caused by the 5mcg of Tiromel that I take in the morning. Also I was wondering if I should stop taking the levothyroxine altogether, & either just try to buy some low dose Tiromel or Liothyronine without the T4 in

Amlodipine v. L-Arginine
I take Amlodipine daily, prescribed for my cardiac condition. Amlodipine is a drug which reduces blood-pressure, isn't it? so ought I to avoid taking L-Arginine, as a supplement , which would also have a B-P lowering effect? I would like to overcome my ED without using Blue Pills, you see.

Well tomorrow morning I will finally know whether I had a stent fitted during my last angiography at the beginning of September last year. If I haven't it's going to be a bit of a dilemma as to whether to go for a stent or not as I have been relatively angina free (and when I have had its been relatively
