Reducing Nifedipine dose for the warmer months?
I am on 20mg x 2 daily Nifedipine for secondary Raynauds, I started in the Autumn last year. I know I need to consult my Rheumatologist about this but wondered if others do the same ? Now the weather is warming up, I'm finding it's very easy to go into overheat mode, in that my hands start to swell

Raynauds and Nifedipine
This last winter I suffered terribly with the cold. All my life I have suffered with Raynauds Syndrome and winters have always been difficult for me with regards to my extremities (fingers, toes and nose) being cold and often painful. Even in summer having warm feet and toes has been a rare occurence

Effects of Lercanidipine
I have been taking Atenolol and Losartan for many years to control my high blood pressure but it seems that recently my BP is high again so about 3 months ago Lercanidipine was been added to the other two tablets. At first I felt a bit woozy and tired but that has worn off. However, in the last few

Can saline nasal spray trigger AF!
This might seem a bit out there, but since having a statin added to my prescription (includes atenolol and Rivaroxaban as well as diabetic and BP stuff) I've had ongoing catarrh and congestion. Self medicating, of course, I thought I would try a simple saline nasal spray to see if it helped, couldn't

Raynaud’s syndrome
In the past couple of years this condition is affecting me more and more. I’ve been prescribed Nifedipine - with the option to take 3 times a day but I’m wary of effect on my liver. I would be grateful for any thoughts on the matter

Nosebleeds
Does anyone taking nifedipine get nose bleeds? If so any way of stopping them (not involving stopping nifedipine as I find it does keep me at least a bit warmer)
