Hypertension
Recently been diagnosed with cardiomegaly and diastolic dysfunction. Am on my 5th blood pressure medication (tried ramipril, Losartan -chest tightness with both) had amlodipine but water retention and struggling to walk. Put on Indapamide- chest tightness again but reduced fluid now to try bendroflumethiazide

Amlodipine
Good morning all, can I ask if anyone has suffered from swollen ankles turning slightly blue with Amlodipine. I have a video appt with my cardiologist tomorrow and wonder if it is worth putting this question to him. I don't think it's oedema if I press it the skin does not stay in. I am trying to

Changing medication
Hi cardiologist recommended I change amlodipine to diltiazem re continuing chest pain (at rest too) and pressure on chest/sternum, and aspirin to clopidogrel re asthma as was finding breathing out difficult. When you change meds should you change one at a time so you can see impact of each more clearly

Allergies
Good morning, I woke up this morning at 6am with a fit of coughing. I have just finished a week of prednisolone and these keep me awake so have been using a night cream called Repose which you put on wrists and temples so that you breathe it in and it helps you sleep. I think the Repose cream is making

Reoccurring BP
Since November 2020 when I had my hypertensive crisis my BP has been well controlled by good eating, exercise, weight control, minimising alcohol and caffeine to an average 128/60. I take daily Amlodipine 10mg and Ramipril 2.5mg. Just lately it has spiked again last night to an alarming 178/75; this

Worried about Amlodipine.
Hi, new to this , I've been prescribed amlodipine for high blood pressure, I have read bad things about this drug and now see an article in the Sunday Mail about if being recalled although I think this was in America. My problem is I'm having issues with numbness in my hands when I wake up, also I bought

Amlodipine Besylate 5mg. for BP
I did 6 rounds of chemo, & had Hysterectomy for clear cell ovarian cancer. Now I'm ongoing treatment with Avastin. As you know Avastin has one side effect that is high blood pressure, which I am experiencing. I have never had high blood pressure in my entire life, but now must go on Amlodipine Besylate

What was that about? 🤔
My BP has been a bit erratic for a while, normally a little higher than I'd like, 145/90 ish, but had been around 185/112 first thing in the morning. So, talking with the Dr, she suggested Amlodipine 5mg to go with the 10mg Ramipril I've been taking for years. OK so far. But this afternoon I had a weird

New medication
Would very much welcome advice. I was diagnosed with heart failure in spring 2018 following very serious brush with sepsis. I surprised all by staging a good recovery and was taken off specific medication at the end of that year though remaining on Loratidine and Felodipine for blood presure . Having

Controlled heart rate?
Hi, I finally managed to get a phone call with my Cardiologist who performed a successful CV back in October but I soon went back into Persistent Afib. Since then I have come off Bisoprolol ( breathlessness) and Verapamil ( possible adverse reaction), all in a previous post. The outcome from my call

Coming off drugs b4 ablation
I’m on amlodipine (Ca channel blocker) and metoprolol (beta blocker). Plus flecainide (Na channel blocker). All fairly low doses. I have to come off them before my fourth ablation for four days so not looking forward to that. Anyone experienced withdrawal symptoms doing same?
