Weight gain is making me miserable - but which drug is it?
I’m 65, have always been slim and pretty healthy. Everything has fallen apart in the last six months. I’m now on 10mg of Bisoprolol, 50mg of Losartan and 5mg of Amlodipine a day! I’m piling on weight and my legs are swelling, both of which are making me very miserable. I guess it’s better than being

Shell shocked
Just had an angiogram, been listed for stents. Additional medications amlodipine and clopidogrel. I have had GTN spray since December. Feels like I'm waiting for a heart attack. Looks like I will not get stents for another 6 weeks. I'm a bit scared, not seen consultant just his assistant and a letter

Amlodipine and swollen legs
I have unstable angina and have been on 5mg Amlodipine for a year. Following a severe angina attack the cardiac doc at hospital upped the dose to the max at 10mg. Since then I find my legs are very swollen by bed time but fine again in the morning. I've been to the doc and he is investigating but

Burning head/scalp
Hey everyone! I’m new here but hoping to find someone who can relate to what I’ve been going through. I never suffered from health anxiety until december of last year, and it started with heart palpitations that landed me in the hospital. Once I found out that I was ok, the anxiety went away. Fast forward

Me Hi, I have anxiety, I'm on Citalopram. My anxiety fluctuates. I get anxious if I have to go to Doctors, or any Other Important Visit. I received a letter today, from my surgery to book an appointment with Nurse to take my Blood Pressure. This sent me into a spin, because the last time I went to

Is it PD?
I was diagnosed with PD by my Neurologist in November. She referred me to a movement specialist, who also gave me a clinical diagnosis of early stage PD, but suggested I could have a DaTscan for a more definitive diagnosis. The results came back normal. I was told that it may just be too early a stage

Good Afternoon. Has anybody been prescribed the above drug whilst on AF medication. I have just been prescribed it for burning feet and restless legs by my GP and collected this from the pharmacy today, and on reading the DO NOT TAKE SECTION, it says not if you have any heart rhythm problems.

Fostair to take or not.
I have been taking Fostair metered dose for a month and have had numerous side effects. Tremors that for two hours prevent me from holding anything and then lesser tremors throughout the day. Also, spasms in my feet and hands and a dry mouth. I do take other medication and the nurse didn’t seem to

Vitamin supplements
I’ve been thinking I probably need to take some extra vitamins — what do most of you take to help balance things out with Pred ? I’m currently on 10mg Prednisolone and the only other meds I take are Losartan and Amlodipine for high BP. I’m considering calcium, Vitamin D, B12, magnesium?
