An Introduction and a salutary tale about Felodipine
My BP is still moderately high at an average of 150/90 so he has prescribed
Slozem
. Does anyone have experience of
Slozem
I am naturally wary. I am four days off Felodipine as I write.

Blood pressure still unstable
At the moment I’m taking
Slozem
and ramipril and there is some improvement. Bp not so high as it was, however, just as before, the first week to 10 days after starting the new meds sees the bp drop to normal and then it’s now back to being high again.

Slozem advice needed
Hi there, I’m wondering if anyone can tell me how long it takes for
Slozem
(diltiazem) to work for high blood pressure? Been taking 120mg daily for a week now and told to monitor my blood pressure throughout the day. Nothing happening yet.

Atrial fibrillation and GORD - link? Just like having a heart attack?
Made no difference and after a couple of weeks i was put on
slozem
(Diltiazem) 180mg. Palpitations and ectopics continued, GP didn't seem too bothered, eventually got a 24 hour ecg which showed some bigeminy, trigeminy, single VEs and SVEs.

Blood pressure medication
Since diagnosis I have been tried on various meds for high BP, including beta blockers, I'm now taking
Slozem
, all causing me to feel unwell in various degrees. Does anyone have any idea Why indapimide is no longer suitable for me to take when I previously was OK on it.

Hi this is my first posting
At the moment I am persevering with
Slozem
which is really doing it's job, but have very achey joints, particulalrly my ankles and wrists and feel pretty exhausted all the time. Can't work out if I have a virus or if it really the drugs.

Previous stroke with abate and pace.
My AF which has refused to cooperate with medication over the years is now permenant and never stops i.e.beteblockers, digoxin, calcium cb (
slozem
and verapamil) and Amioderone which i was on for only 3 weeks as my fear factor was making me a nervous wreck.

Does anyone have an opinion?
I have taken apixaban for 4 years and
slozem
for my blood pessure. Is this usual after so long or is it something to do with my atrial fiberation.?

Hot sweats
After 3 cardio versions which didn't work I am on digoxin, warfarin and
Slozem
( diltiazem) I get very hot, similar to hot flushes mainly in the evening and when I lie down. Do others have this too?
