HBP and Amlodipine
I am new here. I have White coat syndrome and PTSD around having my BP taken, this is due to a bad experience many years ago with Pre Eclampsia when pregnant (and now health anxiety in general arising from this) I am otherwise reasonably fit and well but I visited my GP for a minor knee issue and he

High BP at 38 years old, am I on the right track to 'recovery'? Advice and experiences welcome - I'm new here, thanks
I am approaching 39 and earlier this year in May I had checked my blood pressure for the first time in years. I have previously had blood tests for Cholesterol etc which have always been fine. However, my blood pressure readings to my surprise was 178 / 127 on 3 readings. I was prescribed Amlodipine

Amlodipine: Tinnitus and Sudden Hearing Loss Possible
Because my blood pressure was running a bit higher as I age, my FORMER primary care physician encouraged me to double my dosage of amlodipine from 2.5mg to 5mg per day (a "normal, moderate dose"). Much to my distress, the ENT doctor has informed me that the higher dosage of amlodipine is the likely

Medication
Hi. I was on Amlodipine 5mg and Losartan 25mg. But the side effects from Amlodipine were not good. Bad aching joints, cough (& I’m asthmatic), itchy skin, swollen ankles and bad anxiety. Tried to speak to GP but referred to Clinical Pharmacist who has doubled the dose of Losartan. And she will review

So Confused...
Hi, First post here. I have convinced myself I have CKD and my anxiety is now horrible. My GFR is 60, creatinine is 1.0, BUN is normal. My Potassium is low and Aldosterone is high which is how this all started. My heart felt like it was going to pound out of my chest so I checked my bp and is was 185

Had to go to ER for High BP. Anyone have advice on how long it takes to go down?
Recently went to ER as BP went to 265/184. Blood work showed no issues. MRI showed no brain bleed and echo was good (small murmur doc said nothing to be concerned about). Was told I dodged a bullet. Hospital was able to lower to 180’s over 90’s in three days. On 100 mg amlodipine and 10 mg of losartan

NTproBNP blood test
I had the above blood test on 27th October. Was finally told the results today via snail mail. BNP is showing as 1278. I'm assuming this confirms heart failure? Cardiac nurse is asking GP to prescribe me Furosemide 40mg for three days then 20mg daily after. I have constant afib following a massive pulmonary

Amlodipine
Hello Gents. Since October 7th when I was given Eligard I have experienced severe constipation and elevated blood pressure (high 150-160). Previously I have taken Lupron every 3 months for the past 4 years. Realistically if Kaiser had reviewed my medical files prior to administering Eligard they would
