Blood pressure medication
Can anyone advise the best blood pressure medication that doesn't make breathlessness and dry cough worse. Also doesn't make your ankles swell.Really appreciate any recommendations as I am not sure the gp has the time to go into the different types. Have tried ramipri and amlodipine. Thank you

Change in Blood Pressure Meds a Disaster
I went to my nephrologist two weeks ago. They took my BP and it was absolutely perfect - 118/62 which is hard to believe because my BP is usually high in the doctor's office. At the time, I was taking 10 mg of Amlodipine (maximum dose) and 100 mg of Metoprolol. I was SOOOOO happy! So the nephrologist

Hair loss due to meds?
Hello everyone. Just wondered if anyone else has suffered hair loss due to heart meds? I’m on bisoprol, Spironolactone, dapagliflozine and ramipril and have noticed recently that my hair seems to come out easier than it used to. I know you lose so many hairs a day and age can be a factor (I’m nearly

Blood pressure medication
I've been on Ramipril and Bendroflumethiazide for years to manage hypertension, associated with T2 diabetes, and subsequently AF came into play, with betablockers and Rivaroxaban. But my blood pressure still kept creeping up, so the GP threw Doxazosin into the mix. This got the BP down to a better level

Tiredness and sore legs with Ramipril
I’ve been taking Ramipril for 4 months now, initially 2.5mg raised to 5mg. The two side effects that have really bothered me are severe tiredness out of nowhere, and inconsistent in it’s arrival (or not) AND secondly very weak legs after very menial tasks - like climbing a flight of stairs. I tend to

swollen ankles
I had a heart attack last March 2022 and I am now concerned because I have swollen ankles for the first time. I take Ramipril and Atorvastatin, would these tablets be the cause of swollen ankles? Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Many thanks

appointment update
Well left for my appointment with a HR of 111. ECG hospital HR 174, BP 167/132.- full blown AF. Deposited in chair and wheeled to the consultant. My husband offered to push as the poor nurse wasn’t strong enough ( I only weigh 67kg ). If the resource was available I would have been kept in hospital

Indapamide with levothyroxine?
I have been prescribed Indapamide for high blood pressure. I also have Ramipril which I take in the evening. The Indapamide pack says to take in the morning. Can I take it with my thyroxine? I couldn’t see any contraindications for it but is it going to impede the thyroxine? ShouldI take it at night
