Magnesium supplements causing low blood pressure?
Has anyone heard of magnesium supplements lowering Blood Pressure? I am on BP medication - Lisinopril, Indapamide, Pravastatin - as well as AF meds - Flecainide, Bisoprolol, Apixaban. The BP is pretty well controlled though can shoot up when I am stressed. I can also go low when I have General Anaesthetics

My mum has had small nose bleeds, yesterday morning and today and has a strange metallic smell to her urine - does this sound familiar to anyone? She had got down to 20mg Pred and then a flair up happened - the only warning was a bit of tiredness then further - sudden, visual loss -she was

PVC’s or PAC’s and dry mouth can Anxiety be the cause
I’m 56 former professional athlete who’s had occasional skipped beats since my thirties. About two years ago I would get bouts of about twenty skips a day for a month and they would gradually go away. Visited cardiologist, did blood work and found high cholesterol (family history) and slightly high blood

Cholesterol medicine.
Over a year ago I had a sizable kidney stone. My left kidney is about 1/4 function and doctor feels stone had been in there awhile causing damage. 6 months ago my gfr was 39 for my 1 and 1/4 kidney. Changed cholesterol medicine because it wasn’t making much difference. Today cholesterol numbers are amazing

Hi, I want to know how many people on here with high blood pressure are overweight and did any of you start to get high blood pressure just in months when you never had it before?

Liver Function and Bisoprolol.
I am in permanent AF and it does seem reasonably well controlled with 7.5mg of bisoprolol and a pacemaker. My blood test results for liver function have been relatively normal but for raised tryglicerides for which I am prescribed Pravastatin and Omacor concentrated fish oil tables. Liver function tests
