Doxazosin
I’m currently on Amlodipine and Ramipril for high blood pressure. I then lost my father and didn’t want to know about what other medications I could try. He wants me to try Doxazosin The prescription is waiting for me at the pharmacy and I am just wondering if it did work for someone? I am not nervous

Source of NDT or T3?
Looking for some advice. I’ve been having hypothyroid symptoms for years, with FT3 at the very bottom end and often below range the few times I got the doctor to test it. Morning oral temp at 35.8-36.0C Only a couple of times did it approach 50% of range and that was using desiccated thyroid supplements

Are you male? Are you a mouse? Do you carry the Thr92Ala-DIO2 allele? Can you wait for the publication of this paper? Can you wait for the human version of this trial? And do you consider it necessary to wait for the eventual publication of the human trial before considering T3? It is undoubtedly

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

My chest aches as do my shoulders and one foot. I can't take statins so they're trying me on this. My cholesterol was 6 total and it's come down to

losartan and beta blocker
Does anyone else take a beta blocker with their BP meds? I'm on 12.5mg losartan (lowest dose) and the doctor prescribed propranolol as and when to help with my palpitations (could be hormone linked). Reading the pill notes it advises caution with this but the doctor said was ok so i'm not sure what to

Post EP Ablation
I went into AF after getting sick from food poisoning/belly bug in early Feb23. I stayed in AF and had shortness of breath after being released from hospital. I was put on Diltiazem at that time. I saw my heart dr early Mar23. Then a week later I saw my heart rhythm dr. He put me on Propafenone
