Blood pressure medication
Can anyone advise the best blood pressure medication that doesn't make breathlessness and dry cough worse. Also doesn't make your ankles swell.Really appreciate any recommendations as I am not sure the gp has the time to go into the different types. Have tried ramipri and amlodipine. Thank you

Change in Blood Pressure Meds a Disaster
I went to my nephrologist two weeks ago. They took my BP and it was absolutely perfect - 118/62 which is hard to believe because my BP is usually high in the doctor's office. At the time, I was taking 10 mg of Amlodipine (maximum dose) and 100 mg of Metoprolol. I was SOOOOO happy! So the nephrologist

Hi Everyone, - I would like to hear other member's experience with this drug, Various members of the medical profession play a sort of pharmaceutical Chess game with my BP, in which I am the pawn! When I was first diagnosed, with AF, the Cardio removed my BP meds which I had been taking for years and

appointment update
Well left for my appointment with a HR of 111. ECG hospital HR 174, BP 167/132.- full blown AF. Deposited in chair and wheeled to the consultant. My husband offered to push as the poor nurse wasn’t strong enough ( I only weigh 67kg ). If the resource was available I would have been kept in hospital

Amlodipine
I am on 10mg of Amlodipine plus another type of drug. The Amlodipine makes me nauseous but the combo is effective in controlling my BP. Does anyone know if you can split the Amlodipine dosage 5mg in morning and 5mg in evening and whether this helps symptoms or not? In the UK, trying to make an appointment

wrong tablets
I have just taken my husbands tablets by mistake. I should have taken Entresto, Bisoprolol, and edixaban. Instead I have taken 5mg Amlodipine, 20mg atorvastatin and tamsulosin hydrochloride. Doctors closed holiday weekend as is Blood Failure clinic. What should I do?
