New to blood pressure medication.

weight gain?
I want to see anyones points of view about weight gain. I have discovered I have gained very little weight whilst on purely Levothyroxine. However I have become much ‘bigger’. My trousers are too tight, I am increasingly ungainly, my muscles are getting worse and even more problems getting exercise

Blocked LAD and travel insurance
Hi all I am 61 and in 2017 I was diagnosed with a blocked LAD 50-60% not bad enough to stent but on medication. Statins, amlodipine and aspirin. I am looking at going to America next year and wondered which insurance company anyone could recommend. Also, how would you describe my condition - would

Conflict between urine microalbumin and creatinine levels
I am a 52 yrs old man, an engineer from Sudan. I am on Crestor 10mg since 2007 with controlled lipid profile except HDL around 40mg/dl, also on Telmisartan 40mg since 2010 which reduced urine microalbumin from 50 to 26 mcg/l. I am a neither diabetic nor hypertensive. Recently my PB dropped down to 60

amlodipine
my doctor wants to put me on Amlodipine. I have read it can make angina worse to begin with. I don't want to take it. What medications are other people taking for vaso spasm and microvascular angina?

Serious Question
I was advised I need thyroid replacement years back. I was active, healthy, walked 2 miles 3 x week. I was surprised , but trusted. I immediately felt like I was like someone on amphetamines. Finally after 4 3/4 yrs. I withdrew telling the MD. Most of the extreme complaints have gone or lessen. How much

viagra
I’m taking Felodipine for slightly raised BP and it’s working well . Unfortunately it’s causing some mild ED. I’ve tried other BP meds but can’t tolerate them. I had an ablation for AF nearly 12 months ago which has been successful. The urologist is suggesting viagra or similar. I’m worried it

To Kardia or not to Kardia............
Hello everyone, although I have replied to other people’s posts, this is the first question I’ve asked for myself. Knowing that many of you use Kardia’s, I’m hoping you can help me to make up my mind over a possible upgrade to the 6L version. First a bit of background; I was diagnosed with AF in late

Ectopic Heart Beats
My 24 hour holter monitor results are in. Doctor explained no AFib but evidence of Ectopic heartbeat. He didn't suggest any treatment as I am on Bisoprolol already. GP suggests live with it and report if gets uncomfortable. He didn't tell me the burden figure but I suspect low - when at rest. So far
