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

oxycodone

I see Oxycodone may be causing this is there any alternative? I am on 5mg prolonged release twice a day and supplemented

Secondary Hyperlipidemia
Hi I’m hypothyroid and my total cholesterol is raised which I’m working very hard to bring down with diet and exercise. I’m a very healthy weight and my bmi is fine. I have just learnt today that if a person is hypothyroid this means they have secondary hyperlipidemia, above normal lipid levels in

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

Latest Bloods - Dr requested a review
An update after my last post in February. Dr put my Levo up by 25mcg, so I have been taking 125mcg per day since the beginning of March. Due to no appts, I’ve eventually got the bloods done that I requested through the GP. They’ve just texted me a routine appt for May, after the Dr has reviewed my results

High Cholesterol
HiI had a thyroid blood test last week. The doctors receptionist rang yesterday to say my Cholesterol was high and the doctor had asked her to ask if I was taking the medication. I was taken aback when she said the doctor would like to speak to me but the earliest phone appointment was in 3 weeks.

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

How low can you go ? Blood pressure GP policy and general guidance
Hi I have had high blood pressure for over 20 years. At some point in my late 20s (I am now 51), a GP decided I met the criteria for high blood pressure and prescribed medication. For most of the next 20 years I had an annual or semi annual check at the surgery and a blood test every year. They would

Blood pressure and electromagnetic frequencies.
As I travel along the path of essential hypertension and the tests I am having show good cholesterol levels, good kidney function, seemingly no heart issues. But still mild hypertension. I read an interesting article the other day that suggested electromagnetic frequencies from house wiring, certain

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
