Symptoms and possible colon cancer?
At least 10 yrs ago I had a primary physician tell me I most likely have IBS. My bowel movements were always large and I always thought how in the world can a women produce such long logs in a BM. Three months ago in June, I spent two days in the hospital with what the doctors diagnosed as Hyponatremia

uncontrollable Blood pressure: on high meds of Valsartan 320 mgs and Amlodopine 5 mgs daily. ill recently and wondered if it is the meds.….
I have been suffering with high blood pressure for over 20 years. I am aged 75. For the past five years, it has occasionally become uncontrollable with spikes of high systolics up to 180- 200 on more than one occasions. My BP would be okay for several weeks and then out of the blue it goes sky high

Hi all, i have been in afib for over 48 hrs.

Microvascular Disease / Syndrome X
Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have chest pain/discomfort most days and am very restricted in what I can do. I get breathless and tightness in my chest when I try to do things that most people would take for granted, including light housework, light gardening, lifting/pushing/pulling most things heavier

Meds side effects
Hello, I'm about a month in of taking Ramipril and Amlodipine both 10mg and my question is do the side effects come and go? When I first started I had dizziness and heavy arms which passed after a couple of weeks but seem to have come back. Wonder if this is normal or not really. Thank you 😊

Advice please
Hello everyone, On my last post I asked if I could have Hashimoto's from my test results as I already have another autoimmune condtion called Psoriasis. I have many of the symptoms associated with Hypo or Hashimotos. Some of you said it was unlikely because of the antibody tests, but also mentioned

AMLODIPINE
Since starting taking amlodipine I have a big problem at night, needing to urinate every 1.5 to 2 hours. Does anyone else have this problem.

LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
A somewhat new development for me has me wondering if there could be any relationship to our illness, so I'm seeking comments. My Blood Pressure has been dropping over time, and I did lose some weight in the last year, but I find it hard to imagine its because of the weight. One year ago I was 254

High BP ongoing
Thank you again to all those people who have posted with reassurance and advice.

Hi was put on amlodipine 5mg. I took first one at night. Didn't sleep at all also racing mind. Changed to taking on Morning side effects even worse dizziness shortness of breath panic attack. Felt very unstable on feet, I stopped them. I have decided to try and sort out my BP with diet and exercise.

Amlodipine in morning and Ramipril at night?
I have just yesterday been prescribed 5mg Amlodipine on top of the 5mg of Ramipril I’ve been taking. The GP didn’t specify over the phone if I take them both in the morning (I have been taking my BP tablet in the morning since I started 5 years ago) or to separate them out? I have read that taking them

Amlodipine side effects
Hi Guys I have recently been prescribed Amlodipine for high blood pressure and the first prescription was for 5mg per day, that made no difference to my BP readings, I was then prescribed the same meds at 10mg per day, since taking 10mg per day my calves and lower legs become swollen in the afternoon
