Fed Up.
Hello again, very long time, no see. I will freely admit that a huge part of my absence has been pure denial. As 2024 begins, I realise I have been a prisoner of my health problems since late 2020, when it all really kicked off probably due in no small way to our good friend Covid, both mentally and

enzalutamide and amlodipine
"enzalutamide will decrease the effect of amlodipine by affecting hepatic/intestinal CYP3A4 metabolism "....i was prescribed amlodipine and noticed it was not effective in lowering blood pressure so this must be the reason. Would a different calcium channel blocker work?

Colonoscopy and pred
I'm having a colonoscopy on Thursday. I have been told to leave off the 2mg pred I take early morning until after the procedure (the appointment is for 10.30am). The same for all my other meds except amlodipine which I can still take. I think their reasoning is that I'm not allowed to eat anything after

Angina?
20th October I started to feel unwell after a week of stresses. Then the day after thought I had a bit of a bug from my granddaughter. By the next day I felt I had indigestion that seemed to come on as soon as I began to eat? Monday to wednesday bouts of pain in chest through to the back, neck, jaw

Amlodipine and Atorvastatin in One
Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone with liver issues has taken the two meds together? Also know as Norvasc and Lipitor, and both are combined into one pill called Caduet. My Dr prescribed it as a precaution since I have a slightly higher blood pressure and cholesterol than desired for my age

High BP, abdominal pain and sickness and UTI
I initially had bouts of anaemia and tiredness throughout the early 2000s and was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism around 2010. I was told that my excess weight would drop off me after being prescribed Levothyroxine. That didn't happen but I did get side effects and symptoms of an underactive thyroid

Possible stroke ?
Hi everyone I was discussing medications issues with surgery pharmacist yesterday. He asked why I was taking Clopidogrel (I am having serious oseophagal spasms) then said oh yes possible stroke. I am stunned no one has mentioned this to me. As far as I knew my GP moved me from aspirin to Clopidogrel

New blood pressure drugs
Hi all I have had a lot of issues with BP meds currently on Felodipine 7.5mg and in general they are by far the best I have used. However I am an insomniac and Felodipine has definitely exacerbated this. No sleep at all last night. GP prescribed Mirtazapine to help but I only took half a dose and was

Update on blood pressure medication.
My GP changed my blood pressure medication to Amlodipine last week and asked me to record my blood pressure twice a day for a week.I only lasted three days on the Amlodipine. Side effects for me were breathlessness, feeling nauseous and feeling totally drained. I was really hoping the amlodipine would

Amlodipine Side Effects
Hi. I've had tinnitus for 18 months. Started in the middle of the night during a stressful period in my life - redundancy from long term job (21 years). Originally only in right ear then gradually left too. I experience regular spikes which maybe stress related or reactive to sound. I've recently started

Candesartan cough?
Candesartan 4 mg was added to my amlodipine 5 mg a few months ago. When my BP was still high, the dosage was increased to 8 mg. I had no problems on the 4 mg, but after the increase I developed an irritating little dry cough. It felt the same as the one I had when on perindopril, except not as hacking

Ramapril and Candesartan help please.
I was prescribed Ramapril last year lowest dose and tolerated it really well. However when I saw my cardiologist in July my blood pressure was high and he increased the dosage to 2.5 mg twice a day. As well as hypertension I have mild CAD and moderate LVH. I started experiencing a vibrating sensation
