Experiences with

Felodipine / Ramipril

When I left hospital I was taking 1.25mg ramipril at night and 2.5mg felodipine in the morning. My top reading stayed above 140mmg. We gradually increased ramipril dosage from 1.25 to 2.5 and then to 5mg. Two weeks ago we increased the felodipine dosage from 2.5mg to 5mg.

I have just mistakenly taken too much bisoporol. I take 5mg in the morning and 2.5 mg in the evening. Instead of taking my ramipril I mistakenly took another bisoporol 5 mg before bedtime. So that's 12.5 mg today. Has anyone else done this ? Bit worried as I want to go to sleep but scared to.

Last April, after a few days of what I thought was a stomach bug, I started feeling some chest tightness whenever my heart rate went up.

I was diagnosed with PAF 36 years ago and in a 12 month period I would have 4-5 episodes lasting anywhere between 1-6 hours. On Saturday I went to bed at midnight and as soon as I laid down PAF started. It stopped 2 hours later and I fell asleep. A little later I needed to go to the loo and again,

Hi all, just an update on the cold feet saga. I read the other day that I should not be having coffee, hot chocolate or "malted drinks" while taking Ramipril (there was a whole long list including oranges, leafy greens and salt substitutes). I rarely used to drink coffee but I started drinking it

Having seen MV prolapse with severe regurgitation in my echo results, I'd been dreading seeing GP this afternoon. He's fairly relaxed about things.
