Longstanding hypertension
Hello everyone I have been on meds for hypertension since my late twenties. I'm now 54 and BP is irratic. I saw a Cardiologist yesterday who after reviewing my CT angiogram and echocardiogram said my arteries and heart are perfection, like brand new copper pipes. I have to say, I'm thrilled, I assumed

Raised Blood Pressure after Covid
Not sure if this is the right Forum to post this on but I wondered if anyone who has high blood pressure and has had Covid has found that their blood pressure readings have risen since having it. I had an appointment with my Cardiologist this morning and showed him my readings over the last month orso

Bp meds and libido in women (perimenopausal)
I’m on 12.5mg Losartan for raised Blood pressure. I’m 42 and perimenopausal. I’ve been on testosterone for my libido for about 7 weeks with little effect. I can pinpoint my libido falling off a cliff with starting Losartan. Is this a thing? Any other women who have found Bp meds affected their libido

Candesartan for high BP
Has anyone taken Candesartan for high BP? I've recently taken Doxazosin, and Peridropil, both of which made RL much worse. My GP has prescribed this to start today. I'm hoping for better luck with this.

venting post - vaginal bleeding
I have not been around this site for a while as I have been cruising along not really thinking about CLL. But last week I experienced some post menopausal vaginal bleeding, which has me scared to death! I am supposed to leave for a trip with my daughter to Italy today and I am so preoccupied I don’t

Felodipine
I’m 70 I had a couple of spikes in blood pressure this year, both times when in a lot of pain - a root filling needed and a case of shingles and was advised to see GP. I would say my average blood pressure has been between 130 and 140/90 so outside the normal range I started on felodipine six weeks

My baby girl.
Good morning all. I've been writing my updates as anonymous as possible but trying to give relevant information and updates to the condition. In reality I've been writing on my wife's behalf. She was diagnosed in February this year and was taking tremendous strides in getting better. She looked fantastic

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

Low sodium levels and Indapamide
Hi, I was taking Indapamide for 4 weeks and my BP was great, however my GP has taken me off them as he said my sodium levels are too low, now I'm on Doxazosin and my BP is right back up and I feel rubbish. Anyone else suffer from low sodium levels and if so is there anything you can take to increase

Visit to sleep clinic
I attended clinic (all geared up) to see consultant. Well it turned out that the appointment was with a triage nurse - not made clear on appointment papers. He was very professional and apologetic for the confusion. It soon became clear that he has the ear of the consultant who prescribes buprenorphine

Others don’t understand
I know we’re all usually talking about our meds, but I’m wondering how everybody is faring when trying to explain to others what we go through. I’ve had my adult children question why I take oxycodone. Some seem to understand, some are very judgmental. RLS can start at 10:30 am, and is why I’m spreading

Keppra increases
Started on 250mg. keppra tonight after failing clonodine quickly (leg cramps and increased blood pressure did in that one). 250mg isn't enough, at least tonight, and I am wondering how quickly I should increase. Doc says I can go up to 750mg. and I have a terrible time with tolerating medicines. Any

Buprenorphine vs. hydromorphone or other opioids
So I noticed during and after a recent TKR that the buprenorphine that I take for my RLS interacts with the hydromorphone that my surgeon prescribed for me for pain. First, when I was taking my buprenorphine along with the hydromorphone, the hydromorphone wasn't easing my pain because the buprenorphine
