Living with and improving Morning High Blood pressure
Hi all, May I get my frustration off my chest today by posting (as it helps me). Sorry in advance. I feel pretty lonely trying to deal with my HBP. It's so frustrating not being able to see your GP and talk it through. I'm on Ramipril (Mornings) and Amlodipine (Evenings) and yes they have really helped

Drug Combinations
Have been taking Diltiazem and flecainide for many years which seems to have kept AF under control. However after recent bad experience with Losartan for BP I have been prescribed Amlodipine. Does anyone out there have experience of two Calcium Blockers?

Things are settling down...
Morning all, after over four months of seeing various specialists talking to my GP (note not face to face because of Covid) and ten visits to A&E the medicos seem to have agreed what is the problem. The original angina diagnosis was shown to be false as a later CTCA scan showed my arteries were pretty

My eyes are also extemely puffy in the morning as the fluid pools there overnight. I'm curiuos if others have taken diuretics (lasix) to address this, or why they have chosen not

Heart Attack
My ex-husband age 71 had a heart attack 4 weeks ago, 2 stents and they cleaned out a blocked blood vessel. He came home but was very breathless, diagnosis was water retention. A couple days in hospital he came home and seemed better but started having problems at night not being able to sleep flat

Improving Blood Pressure
Dear all 6 weeks ago my BP was around 190/115. I have since lost a stone in weight and improved my exercise. I was put on 5 mg of Ramipril and my blood pressure dropped to around 160/100. Two weeks ago I was prescribed an additional dose of 5 mg of Amlodipine and currently my BP is around 135/90

Heart rate has lowered..?
Hi guys. I've been on a combo of blood pressure drugs for a few years now. I've recently lost weight and I'm walking and exercising more. My heart rate has started to slow down to low 50s resting where it wad 60s before. Im getting a bit worried. Could it be that one of the tablets is doing it? I'm

Ectopic heartbeats
I have been prescribed Amlodipine 5mg for hypertension in April. At the end of July I was prescribed Bisoprolol 2.5mg for ectopic heartbeats. Although it has only been a few weeks, I don’t feel comfortable with it, I feel lightheaded and need to rest more than normal. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms

Different AF Types
I have noticed that I get two types of AF periods. One is where my heart goes into an irregular beat but stays within the normal pulse rate. The other is where it jumps to around 160bpm and is irregular. Is there a difference in the two and how long can you leave the high heart rate before thinking

Nausea and vomiting - at 7.5 / 8mgs Pred?
Hi Folks, Just wanted to pick all your super human brains again if that's ok, you lovely people! Have had a lot of problems lately, but most debilitating over last few weeks has been nausea - so bad it stops me eating and sometimes I vomit about an hour after eating. Two weeks ago was bringing up some

Second opinion update
Saw cardiology registrar for second opinion on my angina type pain after being dismissed by other local hospital Listened properly to me and discussed my concerns re microvascular or vasospastic angina. Am starting amlodipine and have been referred for a stress MRI rather than angiogram as non invasive

Weight Loss and heart meds
Hi, I'm on medication after having a mild heart attack (no stents needed) back in 2017. I've recently made an effort to lose weight for my own health. I've lost about 2 stone in 6 months and wondered if some of my meds should be reduced .I'm taking 1.25mg Ramipril, 80mg Atorvastatin, Aspirin and 5mg
