Afib and slow heart rate.
Hi.I'm a 59 year old man, I've recently been diagnosed, after an a&e admission, with an afib episode of 160 BPM. I've known, I've had an issue for at least 10 years but it finally came to a head. So I've been given apixaban, ramipril and bisoprolol. My main issue is a slow resting heart rate. Rarely

Amlodipine
I have been prescribed Amlodipine 5mg for Level 1 hypertension (140/85). I'm 66 and have also started taking Atorvastatin 40mg a year ago. I am terrified of all the negative information about Amlodipine - looks to be a bit concerning. Any feedback would be appreciatwd.

Taking Symbicort and AF
Today my GP has prescribed me a new inhaler (I have COPD) Symbicort. I already use Salamol but it is not very effective. I have permanent AF and I am on 5mg Nebivolol, 180mg of Diltiazem, 5mg Ramipril and Rivaroxaban. I know that some inhalers cause side effects with AF drugs, is anyone using this

Haz58
Hello Haz58, I’m sorry you are having such a rotten time in sorting out the medications which you can tolerate. I could not take Azapriothine or Methotrexate but have settled reasonably happily with a daily routine of Bisoprolol, Levothyroxine, Amlodipine, Prednisolone, Ursodeoxycholic Acid, Losartan

Blood Pressure Meds side effects
Hi, I’m Steve 57 yrs old and I have tried two different types of Amlodipine for high BP, although the meds do lower my BP I have they both give me very red sore swollen fingers. The doctors keep saying it’s not the meds and it is dermatitis, but I absolutely know it’s the meds as both times the problem

Swapping Rasagiline for Safinamide - Hobson’s Choice or out of the frying pan and into the fire?
I have been on Rasagiline from the start. 8 years as my staple bedrock of my cocktail of PD drugs principally Ropinirole, Amantadine and of course Co-Careldopa. I have a pacemaker and take Atorvastatin and Ramipril for heart issues. Now the pharmacy says Rasagiline is in short supply in the UK and likely

Low BP
I've used Amlodipine for long time to help Raynauds, recently BP has become quite low so have stopped Amlodipine. Has anyone used Naftidrofuryl as it has been suggested as doesn't lower BP.

Doxazosin
My GP has suggested I try Doxazosin as an alternative to Amlodipine that I currently take to see if it stops the light headedness and tinnitus I have been experiencing. When I was first diagnosed with high BP in December 2023 I was started on Enalapril but had to change to Amlodipine as I suffered badly

Why does my rheumatologist want me to go onto Methotrexate when I am on a low does of Prednisolone and am getting good symptom relief?
I am now down to 2mg of Prednisolone a day. From a few weeks in my rheumatologist has wanted me to go onto Methotrexate. I have never achieved total symptom relief and recently I've probably been slightly stiffer than before, certainly in the mornings. My last blood tests showed that my CRP had gone
