Be careful with amlodipine
I wanted to pass on something that happened to me recently. Since September my erythromelalgia has been terrible - flares every day, carrying ice packs wherever I go. Then my neurologist told me to come off of amlodipine becuase it has a high interaction with myasthenia gravis. Well, that was a week

Chemical Stress Test.....what to expect
Dear fellow a fibers" across the pond". I'm writing from the US and would like to know of any experiences you might have had with a chemical stress test. I am 74 and was diagnosed with afib 4 years ago. At that time I did have an angiogram with good results. My basic drugs are Flecainide, Elaquis, Metoprolol

Best apps for High BP???
Hi All I'm new to Health Unlocked so wanted to ask you all if you can give me the benefit of your experience? I have had high BP for over 2 years now and I am on 100mg of Losartan and 10mg of Amlodipine. The last few visits to my doctor have ended up with his suggesting I start to take antidepressants

Struggling to keep blood pressure down.
I have had blood pressure problems for years but usually the levels are worse when tested by the nurse at my diabetic 6 monthly check. However, even my checks at home are now showing high sometimes. It's ok after a walk but high in the morning and evening. Does anyone else have a different reading in

Simvastatin 40mg and Amlodipine 5mg
Hi everyone. I started this combination a week or so ago. I have subsequently read that this combination and dosage should not be prescribed. I've had some bowel problems, mainly excessive gas and an uncomfortable feeling of being bloated in lower abdomen, plus some nausea. I'm going back to my doctor
