Blood pressure readings
I've been asked by my GP to check my blood pressure at home as I have "white coat syndrome " he said I should take 3 readings and then average them out. Does anyone know why? I am taking losartan but still have HBP. When I take the 1st reading it is always quite high between 160/90 and 175/95 then it

Merry Christmas - NSR almost 2 weeks
I'm sitting in bed drinking a nice cup of tea taking my daily 5mg bisoprolol 50mg of Losartan 25mg Spirolactone (rivaroxaban in the evening) and still in NSR after cardio version almost 2 weeks ago. I know it's early days but seize the moment - a big thank you to all on this forum for your help and guidance

HBP Medications
A year ago my husband suffered an AKI and ended up in renal failure. He has since recovered but has been diagnosed with Stage 2 CKD. His doctor has recently switched him from metoprolol 100mg to hydrochlorothiazide 25mg. Is there one bp medication that is better than another for CKD? We are new to all

Losartan for Reynaud's?
Hi, Does anyone have experience of taking Losartan for Reynaud's? I've been prescribed Losartan 25mg for primary Reynaud's. I also have erythromelalgia. Any feedback welcome!

Ramparil the devil you know
After months of cough my consultant changed me from ramparil to candesartan after 5 days I was feeling terrible and struggling to get breath. Ended up in hospital and swoped to losartan. Still feeling rotten and am thinking I might be better going back to ramipril as I felt great except for the cough

AF and breathlessness
I had an appointment yesterday with a Cardiac Consultant. I had a echocardiogram and ECG first and a monitor fitted back in July for 12 hours. I have been suffering with breathlessness on climbing stairs, shopping or any excertion so was hoping for some answers as to why I am like this. I was diagnosed

BP meds interference?
I'm taking Losartan Potasium, Lerconidipine and Atenolol for very high blood pressure, and cannot have the surgery I need until it's normal. I've been taking Dihydrocodeine for severe, full body RLS for nearly 20 years, but recently, the bed-time dose I take around 12.30am is only lasting for about two

Vitamin D
Just wondering if it is ok to take vitamin D supplements with heart meds, or even to increase vitamin D rich foods. Currently take: Ivabradine, atorvastatin, losartan, aspirin, amlodipine, amitriptyline.

Ramipril
Started on ramipril at Easter - but had to change to Losartan about a month ago due to the cough - I had persevered with the ramipril but I just couldn’t live with the cough anymore. My question is - how long does it take for the cough to go after stopping taking Ramipril? I’ve still got the cough now

Digoxin
Does anyone take a low dose of digoxin daily to prevent AF? It was described by the A&E doctor following my first post ablation AF. I had gone 3 years plus without AF. In the notes with the digoxin it states lowers heart rate. Mine is normally 58/62 so I don't want it any lower. I still haven't

very high blood pressure
I have had and AV node ablation and a PVI in an effort to control my AF . I was given sotalol and it seems to agree with me. I am usually sensitive to most drugs. Unfortunately although it is said that it makes the BP plunge the opposite has happened to me. I do take a diuretic - indapamide, but since

Blood pressure medication and certain foods
This evening I took my blood pressure and found that it was slightly raised - 134 / 77, okay nothing special about that (my norm is around 125 / 75), but what was unusual was that my pulse was down at 45. I usually record a rate of between 55 and 60, so I decided to find out what was happening. My current

Bisoprolol 2.5 for high BP & to prevent migraine
Hi, I'm new here but would appreciate any comments especially if you use B to prevent migraines? I've been put on bisoprolol 2.5 to lower my BP but also to prevent migraines. Previously I was on propranolol 80 (beta blocker) for years and it had been preventing my migraines successfully, but recently
