Change of medication
I had a severe hypertensive episode in May & was admitted to hospital. I was discharged 2 days later with ramapril and amlodipine. I have had a horrid tickly cough since I was on the ramapril & GP has now prescribed losartan but my BP is creeping up a bit although I’m only on day 3 of the losartan.

Indapamide
Have just started Indapamide. I already take losartan 50 mg. Have been prescribed 2.5mg, but at the moment am splitting the pill and taking half each day. Am finding this has already brought down my bp a fair bit, but for now I would rather not increase my side effects by going on the full 2.5mg. Does

Irregular heart rate with Amlodipine
Dr. changed my medication from Losartan HCTZ because of too many negative side effects. Now taking 5mg Amlodipine for past several weeks. Since starting Amlodipine have been getting occasional readings of irregular heart rate when I take my blood pressure - I can feel them, as well as palpitations.

Alcohol
Hi My husband recently changed from Ramipril to losartan and now after 2 glasses of white wine is absolutely paralytic. I've had to help him to bed etc on the last 2 occasion when we've had a drink. He is not a big drinker so this is a first for me. In truth it's usually the other way around. Is

Low blood pressure
I have noticed over the past few months that my blood pressure has fallen. Many of the readings seem almost ideal, but some of them are definitely on the very low side-I had one yesterday of 88/55 which is definitely too low. I don’t know what might have caused this. I take 100mg of Losartan daily and

Amniodorone
I am taking .. Fostair inhaler, losartan potassium, bumetanide, amniodorone , warfarin. Since starting the amniodorone, prescribed by a registrar in my GPs, I have had swollen feet. It was given to bring my blood pressure down. Would it be o.k. to cut the dosage in half and see if that helps. I don't

Felodipine and chest pain
I’m 52 and had been taking Losartan 10 umg for around 10 years. Six months ago my doctor wanted me to start 2.5 mg Felodipine as well due to high BP. Since then I started to feel chest pain. Now complained to the doctor about increased chest pain on the phone as no surgery is open. I was told to leave

I've been to doctors today as I was prescribed Nifedipress to take alongside Losartan to bring my BP down and help my Raynaulds. I was also diagnosed with Scleroderma 15 months ago which I am still learning to manage and cope with . Nifedipress gave me awful headaches and dizziness so I stopped after
