Second anniversary of HA and hopefully we’ll on the mend
Good reason to celebrate today as it’s two years to the day that my life was saved by those wonderful NHS folks. Suffered a Stemi / widow maker, but 4 stents got me up and running again. Luckily I live only 8 minutes away from the Leicester Glenfield Heart Unit and an ambulance was in the area. From

PMR flare, muscle pain or side effects of medication?
I reduced prednisolone from 11mg to10mg a fortnight ago. Not been feeling great for the last week, I'm not sleeping very well, I am struggling to turn over in bed and to get out of bed, but the pain and stiffness are mostly in my right hip, my lower back and my chest. I thought it was a muscle problem

Diverticular Disease and Sarcoidosis
Hi I have just been diagnosed with the above having thought I just had IBS. I am currently taking Losartan but this is causing irritating cough which is also an issue with the Sarcoidosis. Previously had Amlodipine but that caused bowel issues. Anyone had similar? The pharmacist must be getting fed

Diuretics
Hi, has anyone been recommended to take a diuretic for mild/moderate left ventricular impairment but no symptoms of water retention such as breathlessness, swollen ankles? My husband (age 65) had an echocardiogram in February last year, ejection fraction 40%, also mild/moderate regurgitation. A few days

What could be causing tachycardia?
Hi lifesavers, Someone has asked if the tachycardia I have been getting lately may be caused by the 5mcg of Tiromel that I take in the morning. Also I was wondering if I should stop taking the levothyroxine altogether, & either just try to buy some low dose Tiromel or Liothyronine without the T4 in

tummy issues
I’m on Losartan and Felodipine for high blood pressure since 2021. But I am having nausea and upper tummy pain. GP prescribed Omeprazole which I’ve been taking since November. Nausea better but tummy pain still bad at times. I think it’s the medication but the pharmacist at GP surgery says not. Does

Amlodipine v. L-Arginine
I take Amlodipine daily, prescribed for my cardiac condition. Amlodipine is a drug which reduces blood-pressure, isn't it? so ought I to avoid taking L-Arginine, as a supplement , which would also have a B-P lowering effect? I would like to overcome my ED without using Blue Pills, you see.

about me
so after everything with my uncle, I’ve got my own ecg this week, as been getting flutters and pain in left side of chest. Already suffer from high blood pressure, only 32 so praying it’s clear and just panic. But also my family history both sides, with what uncle has gone through has scared me. Currently

Alternative medicines for Hypertension
I'm having bad side effects with Amlodipine - 10mg. Swollen, feet, legs face and upper abdomen. I've read one of the side effects is a swollen spleen. I've asked my GP to review my meds but have to wait 4 weeks for a telephone consult. Plus most tablets for high BP have side effects. I can't take ramipril
