Using Enalapril Maleate after 70 if you have dizziness
I have been taking Enalapril Maleate for over 30 years. I am now 79 and my blood pressure is moderately high but highly variable and I suffer from occasional dizziness. I see that this is a side-effect of EM. I wonder whether I should ask for a change of medicine, maybe to a receptor blocker? The ones

Acid reflux
Does anyone find that taking blood pressure medications makes their reflux worse. I started with Silent reflux back in early 2014 I have managed to keep under control with diet. I started taking Amlodipine since March and I am having issues. Apparently calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, and Ace

Amlodipine
I have been taking Amlodipine since March. The doctor at the time said that they would cause swelling of the ankles. Well so far doesn’t appear to be so where else can fluid build up. I have noticed my bust has swollen is this possible?

Confused about my see-saw readings.
I'm new here but have had hypertension issues for 40 of my 80 years. When stressed I know it's going to be high (160/80) Otherwise it's low. Often 100/65 with a low pulse (55). I'm on low dose Amlodipine and Lisinipril for about 5 years. I've lost 30 lbs in recent years. I'm 4"11 Stable at 118 lbs.

Medication for those without stents?
Hi everyone, I had a smallish heart attack aged 42 (3 years ago now) and I didn't have any stents fitted as the blockage was in a small artery. I was on Ticagrelor for about 6 months then moved to clopidogrel. I've been on it since. Is there any hope of coming off it ever? I asked my GP who wrote to

Muscle Weakness / Amiodorone
My husband was taking Amiodorone for 19 months before stopping in November 2019. Whilst taking this drug he suffered with extreme fatigue and body weakness and 8 months later the weakness has barely improved. It's unlikely that he will see his cardiologist for his routine appt. any time soon and GPs

Mild atherosclerosis and Amlodipine
Hi everyone, newby here. I had been getting a discomfort in my chest after climbing a lot of stairs. I know it may sound strange, but it felt like I had swallowed an ice cube and had to wait for it to go down to stop the discomfort. I was initially told by my GP that everything was fine, but I persisted
