Thank you to everyone.
Hi all. I want to thank all those of you who replied to my post a couple of months ago after I was diagnosed with AF. Apart from the usual AF symptoms, I was suffering from frequent & severe 'bursting' sensations in the head which no one (not even the doctors) could identify. I changed the Bisoprolol

Treatment by ECP (external counterpulsation) - update
Months ago, I wrote a lengthy post extolling ECP and promised an update later. I am starting a new thread for my (again lengthy) update. Am I still glad that I had ECP? Yes! Has it completely relieved my symptoms? No! (Not yet). ECP is a non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical treatment described below

TENS machines.
Hi everyone. As a PV patient on Rivaroxaban, Hydroxycarbamide and Amlodipine, I know we’re not allowed ibruprofen. Does anyone have experience with or know whether we can use a TENS machine for muscle pain relief? Thanks

Heart attack & 25 minuet cardiac arrest
My husband (49) had an inferior stemi out of the blue at the end of October. His right coronary artery was completely blocked, so he had an emergency stent fitted in hospital. Shortly after this he went into cardiac arrest on the Coronary Care Unit. He was shocked several times over a period of 25 minutes

Hello everyone, new on here and good to be in the company of folk with the same conditions, I’ve already read some very interesting stuff. I'm a 55 year old male & my first symptom was a cold finger in the summer 2015 followed by skin issues, I was feeling pretty ill by the time I was diagnosed in December

Lo Salt and equivalents
Hi, If taking Amlodipine and Candesartan to control high blood pressure, is it OK to take "Lo Salt" (the container says 66% less sodium than regular table, sea and rock salts) or the other low salt equivalents available on the market? I asked the GP but he never heard of it! When I explained what it

Candesartan
I too have changed from Ramipril to Candesartan. I also take Felodipine. Cough has abated and I do not have much in the way of side effects. A runny nose and annoyingly, a sort of fluttering feeling in the chest. No pain and I am still fit enough to walk five or six miles without losing breath but when

amlodipine
My mother is 76 and takes insulin. But she is also on so many pills each chasing the side effects of the others. Recently this came to a head as she was prescribed amlodipine which made her legs swell up. She complained, and the kidney doctors told her to come off amlodipine but the GP would not take

Concerns
I have a feeling that I am not being listened to. I had a second heart attack 18 months ago and was wrongly diagnosed afterwards with a blood clot and prescribed warfarin (I didn't need it) this caused a GI Bleed and it's been downhill since. I take amlodipine and bisoprolol now and am convinced that

Erythromyalgia or something else/more? Mast Cell Activation Disorder?
Bit of history first - I've had Reynaud's since a young girl. No other issues related to anything rheumatalogical other than intermittent ulcers rarely until a few years ago.
