Ideal blood pressure on heart meds
Hi all, I'm taking aspirin, statins, beta blockers and nitrates for my unstable angina. I was told to keep a check on my blood pressure and make sure it stays around 130/80. It started off ok, but now the systolic in getting down to between 110 and 120. The diastolic is hovering around the 80 mark.

More pain relief at last
Today I spoke to my gp about my unstable angina pain. Fortunately, I can increase my dosage of pentaeritritil tetranitrate. I still have the dilemma of getting ALL the necessary tests, but it's a step in the right direction. Aspirin cardio helping. Statins helping (I hope) only further tests will confirm

Twitching of legs
Hi All I have been suffering of permanent AF for long time,controlled (not well) with Bisoprolol, Apixaban and Telmisartan and Statins. Recently I noted frequent twitching of my legs. Can it be connected with AF or the medicines or not? Anyone have experienced that? Many thanks.

Oral thrush eventually successful treatment
Hi, someone mentioned thrush in another post, and I thought it might be useful to share info about oral thrush and eventually successful treatment: The docs changed my inhalers for asthma, I got a rotten dose of oral thrush because apparently new inhaler had smaller particles that stay on the tongue

Will a reduced dose of Thyroxine for under active thyroid affect blood pressure ? I also have inherited high cholesterol and take statins.
Could this be a why my blood pressure is high ?

Weight gain on statins
Has anyone gained weight whilst taking Atrovastatin? I started taking it 2 months ago, have been trying to lose weight for the last 6 months but now I've put on 5 lbs and can't shift it. It's a minor issue compared to others I see on here, but I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle. I'd appreciate
