Possible stroke ?
Hi everyone I was discussing medications issues with surgery pharmacist yesterday. He asked why I was taking Clopidogrel (I am having serious oseophagal spasms) then said oh yes possible stroke. I am stunned no one has mentioned this to me. As far as I knew my GP moved me from aspirin to Clopidogrel

New blood pressure drugs
Hi all I have had a lot of issues with BP meds currently on Felodipine 7.5mg and in general they are by far the best I have used. However I am an insomniac and Felodipine has definitely exacerbated this. No sleep at all last night. GP prescribed Mirtazapine to help but I only took half a dose and was

Insomnia and Felodipine ?
Hi everyoneI have been on Felodipine for several weeks now after trying many other drugs for BP. While I feel a lot better on these drugs my existing insomnia is now off the scale!. I am now averaging 3 or 4 hours a night and over the counter sleeping pills aren't helping much. My GP says she has ran

10 weeks in, not feeling great
I am a 57 year old woman, and had an Nstemi 10 weeks ago, and one stent fitted. I am on 2.5 bisoprolol, tricagrelor, 10 of ramipril, 80 statins and also aspirin. My ejection fraction was poor at 45 (which I found a bit upsetting when it transpired I was the lowest in the rehab class) I was on HRT before

Ramiprimil and thyroid med - timing of medication
Today I've taken by mistake Ramipril first instead of taking my thyroid medication first. I usually take first my thyroid med, wait for one hour with an empty stomach, and then take the Ramipril. How long should I wait to take my thyroid med after taking Ramipril, so my thyroid med is properly absorbed

Feeling really low at the minute. Sorry this is a long one but just want to write it all down.
After Nstemi in March, I went back to work in April. Was feeling pretty good apart from a burning sensation in the chest area not quite every day. I am on the gold standard meds, apparently and the GP advised that my 3 months was up to and to stop clopidogrel on 14 June. Which I did. He increased my

Confusion
Good morning all. I am a busy, working single mum. I've experienced severe breathlessness for the past 6 weeks and a racing heart (90+ bpm rest rate). Echo shows lv impairment and an ejection fraction of 45%. MRI has been booked. I've been put on ramipril and bisoprolol but absolutely wrecked. I'm in

Phlegmy chest and snotty nose - B12 reversing symptoms??
Hi all, I recently completed my 6 loading doses and am 4 weeks away from my 12 week top up. I am glad to say that most of the B12D issues have subsided if not disappeared (these were lethargy, numbness in thumb and forefinger and occasional twitches in right eyelid -not serious by other B12D suffers

Everything taste awful - like vinegar!
I was prescribed 6 drugs in March following a silent heart attack. They were the usual - Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Ramipril, Atovastatin, Bisoprolol, and Lansoprazole. Five weeks ago food and drink began to taste awful - sour or vinegarish. I can't bear to eat any dairy, fruit or meat. I can eat vegetables

Ramipril cough
GP has changed my BP medication as was suffering from the cough. How long does it take for cough to disappear. Probably not suffered as much as some more if I take a deep breath then tickles and have to cough.

Changes in medication a year after TAVI?
Next month sees the first anniversary of my TAVI, since when I've been on Ramipril, Clopidogrel and Omeprazole (and Simvastatin). Has anyone had a reduction in their meds after a year, and, if so, why? The review would be with my surgeon, who was insistent that I didn't need Omeprazole (but didn't

Newly diagnosed
Hi, I'm a 46 year old man who's prediabetic and just been told that my blood pressure is too high. I've just completed a week of home blood pressure tests and have an average of 144/90. The doctors have put me on a dose of 2.5 mg of Ramipril. I'm worried about any side affects that may arise. Can anyone

Odd feeling in chest
Good morning I’m looking for some advice please. I have Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Only symptom was prolonged palpitations. Had them all my life. I’m now 55. I had an ablation November 2023, so far that has helped massively with the palpitations. I get daily ectopics but they don’t affect me at all. They
