Resistant Hypertension
Never had hypertension before starting Zytiga. BP and pulse rate. increased. Taking 5mg prednisone a day. MO reluctant to increase. Can't find study to back up increasing prednisone. Fair BP and pulse rate control on bisoprolol, losartan and amlodipine. Doing so well on Zytiga, really rather not

Unexpected A&E visit
After being mainly angina free since August last year had a horrible episode today which 3 doses of nitrate spray didn't resolve. Phoned my orbita trial doc at basildon to ask for advice. Upshot be advised my to go to A&E and liased with cardio docs at broomfield. Pretty seamless experience after bloods

Amlodipine as an addition to losartan
I was also on losartan at 50mg and my consultant added the amlodipine for an evening dose.How did I feel ? Pretty awful ! Advised to stick with it and in fairness after about 6- 8 weeks the side affects had reduced and gone completly by weeks.. Not a pleasant experience. Bottom line is my bp is around

Hi all, Haven't posted in a while, so here's an update. I had a thyroidectomy 18 months ago, with no RAI due to ongoing saliva issues. Up until about 3 weeks ago I was doing well on 137.5mg Levo, good energy levels and feeling pretty good. Since then I've been lacking energy, feeling a bit down. and

Losartan potassium 50mg.
This is my first time of posting on this forum, I would appreciate any replies. I have been taking 5mg Amlodipine for some time but am experiencing fluid retention and pain especially in legs and feet so my GP has now prescribed Losartan 50mg instead. I also have stage 3 kidney disease. 50mg seems

Felodipine
Ok- been on a variety of anti hypertensives for about 10 years- Ramipril made me cough continually so a couple of others were tried and eventually settled on Losartan 50mg. Until about 3 months ago when it seemed to stop working. Dose increased with no effect so GP added in amlodipine 5mg- cue awful

Doxazosin
I was diagnosed with compensated cirrhosis in 2017. Today I was prescribed Doxazosin, an alpha blocker, for palpitations and hypertension. This is supplementary to the Irbesartan and Felodipine I've been on for many years. But I'm not happy with the leaflet on the medication, which lists liver problems

Amlodipine?
We've read here that Amlodipine could worsen RLS symptoms. I can't find references to trusted sources, i.e. Mayo Clinic, Dr. Buchfuhrer, etc. Will someone post a link for me? I am hoping to convince my husband's doctor to change his prescription away from calcium channel blockers. Thanks so much!

Anyone with gastroparesis?
Hi all. I have gastroparesis (slow emptying of the stomach). This started when I went into failure in fall 2021, and just after my first and only bout of diverticulitis. I am now even wondering if what I had was that. Anyway, I received a kidney transplant in August 2022 and am doing well except for
