Experiences with

Atenolol / Nifedipine

Then they will look to add in Nifedipine into my mix. I am being fairly useless at staying off oxygen for 8 hours during the day. My sats plummet to 68. - 72 when I walk even a short distance so I put on the oxygen, even for a few minutes until I am back to 88-90. For me this works!

It had been controlled for many years and was on nifedipine but when discontinued moved to amlodopine 5mg. In September 24 I experienced few incidents of chest pain & breathlessness with suspected heart attack.

Well 6 months later my cardiologist appt arrived and I’m taken off betablockers and put on nifedipine and sent for a CT scan (November). He’s suggested that I have coronary artery spasms so I also have a GTN spray. Apparently the swallowing issues are linked to my spasms.

I never have & have been able to take nifedipine for raynauds which has helped a lot! I don’t even often need twice daily. However it’s somewhat irrelevant except I’m suspicious that without it then my rate goes up.

I take Nifedipine but it doesn't help. I've had a lot of blood tests, positive for ANA 1:160 homogenous & cytoplasmic pattern, also high IgM and borderline low C3 with 1.03 (range 0.90-1.80) but negative for Dsdna and ENA. I'm still waiting for results of APS and cryoglobulin.

Ask if Magnesium supplements are a good idea (I’m also taking both lisinopril and Nifedipine due to HBP and arm ischemia. 5. Eat more cheese. Thoughts?

Nifedipine seems to be controlling the Raynaud’s well, but I am really struggling with the ongoing musculoskeletal pain, tightness and swelling, and associated fatigue.

I have received a letter from my rheumatologist that he has reviewed all of the baseline diagnostic test for monitoring my Scleroderma and found out from the CT scan that I am showing early signs of ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease), I am on my mycophenolate and nifedipine for Raynaud's.

I am a 29 year mom of two i was put on blood pressure medication by my gynae some health practitioners argued that with a bp average of 134/85 and not swelling it was a bit too early to put me on bp meds anyway i was put on nifedipine 30mg after delivery and my blood pressure was controlled is there

I am on 3 ×5mg Nifedipine and still get some Raynaud's in fingers (I am using an electric blanket in the photo as gas in the UK is now far too expensive) and in cold weather in feet, outside. Does anyone have the same problem?

Hi I was diagnosed with PAF a year ago and after much trial and error with my drug regime, went, at the end of January this year, on a prescription of 100mg Flecainide twice a day, 12.5mg of Atenolol once a day, 5mg of Apixaban twice a day and 20mg of Omeprazole once a day.

Was in hospital here in France for 5 days & released with apixaban (blood thinners) bisoprolol (beta blocker) atenolol for high BP.

Prior to Doxazosin, I tried Nifedipine but there was no lowering of the bp. My bp is being raised by taking Budesonide, a steroid medication that I’ve been on for a year for what we’re calling Colitis like diarrhea.

I was prescribed Nifedipine which has helped a bit but my face is constantly red/flushing and can feel a bit numb.

I have AF & high blood pressure and take atenolol, losartan and digoxin. I find that when out walking I get back ache across the middle of my back. It doesn’t occur when pottering about at home. I have to stop and rest for a few minutes. My legs are Ok and I am not too out of breath.

Medication tweaked and now on Atenolol and Digoxin since mid December which is controlling HR, resting normally around 80 bpm. For the past couple of months I've been suffering regular bouts of pins and needles along whole right arm.

Had scleroderma for 10 years suffer with calcinosis on hands just been put on nifedipine for better circulation xxxhaving problems with bleeding hemoroids when I go to toilet xx.

In late November, my consultant prescribed me Flecainide at 100mg per day along with 12.5mg of Atenolol and 10mg of Apixaban blood thinners.

Anyway, I’m closely monitored and back on atenolol which has been increased to 100mg once a day. I still sometimes get some palpitations and feel a bit fluttery and it makes me feel quite scared when I’m on my own.

Told him I was in contact with Arrythmia Nurse who would review everything, and he discharged me saying I should reduce the Atenolol dose. I will wait for further advice from ANurse before doing so as not sure what it would achieve.
