Experiences with

Atenolol / Bendroflumethiazide

I have raised blood pressure. Prof. Graham Hughes recommended Bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg tablets. These have been very good. However my blood pressure has risen slightly - I have tried amlodipine 5mg and also Ramipril 2.5mg and I have had side effects from both. My GP is not very helpful. Anybody

Recently been diagnosed with cardiomegaly and diastolic dysfunction. Am on my 5th blood pressure medication (tried ramipril, Losartan -chest tightness with both) had amlodipine but water retention and struggling to walk. Put on Indapamide- chest tightness again but reduced fluid now to try bendroflumethiazide

Well, took one tablet of the new blood pressure tablets and reacted badly after several hours - severe headache, dizzy/disorientated, bellyache, nausea and finally sick! I checked the ingredients and there is a starch additive which could cone from corn, wheat or potatoes - and I am allergic to potatoes

I actually had an appointment with just the rheumatologist. First time with no residents. Now I see like Kay said, the residents are important. The doctor did no examination . He did ask about the prescriptions he gives me and although my file was in front of him, he seemed not that versed in what they

Hi all, in 2019 whilst lifting my suitcase at the airport I had a horrendous pain in my lower back. Fast forward a few months finally got a x-ray which showed a compression fracture of L2.

I'm 72, fit, considered generally healthy, although I had an ablation 7 days ago. It went 'smoothly' according to the electrophysiologist. This treatment came as a choice after 2 years of Paroxysmal AF episodes. My symptoms were very pronounced. The 'pill in the pocket' didn't really help me. However

good evening I have done blood tests everything is fine except the good cholesterol which is 27 the limit is 45 and above for men here in Greece, at the moment I am taking atenolol 25mlg per day, maybe this pill has some effect on good cholesterol , besides I do not walk much all the years I had it 40

This is mostly a venting so I apologize, I just need to get some things out of my head. I have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. I've definitively and repeatedly connected it to my digestive system. In my most recent encounter with a doctor directly after I had been taken via ambulance to

Hi everyone, Since your recommendation re meds aggravating and/or causing RLS I have taken myself off statins and Amitriptoline. My Dr refused to change them I'll post that conversation later.

Hi All, I’m a bit fed up. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the fact I’d arranged a private appointment with an EP at my local hospital this week, as I was fed up with waiting for a follow up with my cardiologist which should have happened in January. I’m paroxysmal AF, formally diagnosed last September

As I previously posted spent Boxing Day in A & E and got diagnosed with AF. New Year’s Day and night in A & E with heart rate in Tachy then Brachy missing beats and all over the place but not AF. It settled overnight and a consultant diagnosed over medicating ( had h/a 18 years ago ) she stopped a

Hi all, I’ve been experiencing tachycardia, so I’m just wondering what medicine do you guys take to control your heart rate? I tried propranolol, but it made my fingers/toes tingle. I tried atenolol, but it caused headaches and ear pain. I was just prescribed 30mg diltiazem hcl, but it seems like I’

I had an ablation 3 months ago. Had some PAC episodes that lasted a few days about a month after the procedure. My EP put me on Flecainide 125mg per day. I also was on Atenolol 175mg per day and was doing good for the last 2 months and I woke up one Monday with these horrible PACs. They’ve been going

Hi, I am quite new to the forum and I can see you are a really helpful lovely lot and I’ve already made a few supportive friends in the short time I’ve replied to some of your posts.

Hello, I am new to this site. I am taking 5mg of amlodipine besylate and 20 mg of atenolol for my blood pressure. My neurologist has prescribed me 50 mg of ubrelvy as he states that I suffer from migraines. I went to him because of neck pain and dizziness. He initially prescribed me 100 mg of ubrelvy

First visit Boxing Day as previous post, diagnosed with A&F discharged. Felt terrible all next week heartbeat all over the place, if this AF I can’t handle it, saw a GP not much help. New Year’s Day all over the place very low to high and back again, double beats, missed beats the lot. Back to A & E,

For the last week I’ve had a horrible chest infection with a very deep loud cough ( unfortunately for my other half). I’m asthmatic, which tends to make it worse. Since Thursday I’ve been in AF, which is extremely unusual for me, because when I get it , it only lasts about a couple of hours. It’s pretty
