Amlodipine strange smell and stinging eyes
All I have been on 5mg of amlodipine for about 5 weeks, my blood pressure has increased in that time. I have noticed over the last ten days that i am smelling a smell like a dirty over is turned on, rather than smelling something in particular the air feels polluted. My eyes stings as well. This

tummy issues
I’m on Losartan and Felodipine for high blood pressure since 2021. But I am having nausea and upper tummy pain. GP prescribed Omeprazole which I’ve been taking since November. Nausea better but tummy pain still bad at times. I think it’s the medication but the pharmacist at GP surgery says not. Does

Bleeding gums and aspirin (after scale and polish)
On Thursday I had a scale and polish, and have since found one particular part of my gums bleeding continiously. I have been partly assured by finding evidence on another health forum that this is fairly normal with a deep clean. However, I'm concerned that with aspirin it's might be an issue. Basically

confused
I’ve had permanent AF for a year. On 1.5mg Bisoprolol , 10mg Amlodipine, 20mg Rivaroxiban. 20mgAtorvastatin l. My resting heart rate stays between 70 and 100 and 120 walking measured on Iwatch and BP machine. I would like to help keep my heart rate low and wondered what is the best food

Clopidogrel causing duodenitis?
I've been taking clopidogrel, amlodipine and statins for years now. Over the last year or so I have developed inflammation of the duodenum, confirmed by endoscopy. The consultant wrote "duodenitis caused by clopidogrel" on his summary of findings. However, since then doctors have declined to go down

PERSISTENT COUGH
Hello Everyone.. I am new here and would appreciate your comments. I stopped smoking in May 2004. Since early 2005, I developed the most irritating cough which comes & goes very often. I am under a Consultant and he wants to send me to the "cough hospital" as, like my GP, he is totally baffled. I

Can medication be reduced after a certain time with no problems?
In 2012 I had a heart attack which resulted in the insertion of a stent, fortunately prompt treatment meant there was no major damage to my heart, although I started getting AF attacks in 2016. In 2017 I started taking 100mg of Flecainide and this was successful in stopping my AF attacks. In 2020 I

amlodipine and swelling
I’m at stage 5 ckd and I recently started amlodipine 10mg and my feet and ankle swell. My question is what does someone else at stage 5 take for blood pressure. I’ll be going to my nephrologist soon and i’m going to ask him what else I can take for blood pressure. Just wanted to know some other names

New to amlodipine
Similar experience, I was prescribed amlodipine in addition to losartan as my bp was 'up'.Tbh felt more than a bit unsteady for quite a while on it, but persevered and after a few weeks 'felt' normal again, with bp reducing to 130/75. That was a few months ago, everything fine since.

update after fourth ablation
Appointment with EP yesterday gave the thumbs up to cut out the flecainide. Not needed as have not had any blips since a quick reset (cardioversion) in April after the fourth ablation in March. Besides, the flecainide is causing wide qrs so it’s becoming more problematic than helping. Anyone had problems
