Amlodipine and calcium
Hi, I'm on amlodipine for high blood pressure, have been since 2016. I was diagnosed with osteopenia T score -1.1, in 2021 and put on calcium and vitamin D. I also take Vitamin K2 to help with the calcium absorption. I recently had an annual blood pressure review and although it's not gone up, it's still

Hello!
Hey folks, Not entirely sure where to start here, first post. - I recently had a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) due to some on-going issues which were identified as gallstones. - During this, and also backed up by biopsy/blood tests it seems I have some issues going on with my liver L3 fibrosis

Hi, this is my story
I broke my foot following a fall off a high kerb in August 2021 and should have been referred for a DEXA scan by the minor injuries unit who treated this, but wasn't until I asked my GP for one, following a tip off from a friend who knew that that is NHS guidance. Following the DEXA scan and recommendation

Calcium supplements - the latest advice is DONāT take them!
Thereās increasing evidence about calcium supplements and evidence that they cause colon polyps and that the calcium ends up in arteries rather than bones and therefore best avoided. In this article they recommend getting calcium from your diet and exercise - āMultiple studies have found that there

hello, is anyone on this calcium channel blocker? Just wondered as seems to cause least side effect in terms of redness feet/ swelling compared with, for example Amlodipine . Thank you. Think one of the newer calcium channel blockers so might be expensive I suppose. Also not sure about dosage seems

Background I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2024. Fortunate in having very supportive GP who quickly started me on 15 mg Predisolone which brought about dramatic improvement. Dose has been reduced to 14 mg after 1 month. GP plan is to reduce by about 1mg a month, depending on monthly blood test results
