Missed appointment with Cardiologist
I am absolutely gutted that having waited two months for a telephone appointment with a Cardiologist at Barts today, that my phone died when he called me. I immediately phoned back on my wife's phone and spoke to the clinic secretary asking if he could call back on her phone but unfortunately having

Prescribed Amodipine Blood pressure went Down then back UP
I have just been diagnosed with calcification of the coronary artery and have been prescribed 5mg Amlodipine and 10mg Atorvastatin. Within 4 days my BP went down from average 155/100 to 128/88. However over the next couple of days it was back up to 148/99 with a high of 161/10. Why does this happen

Exercise post HA (four years ago)
As above, I had a mild HA some years ago. Over the last few months I've lost a lot of weight (purposefully) and am a healthy BMI for the first time in decades. I'm on Amlodipine, Remipril, aspirin and Atorvastatin. The only problem I have now is palpitations, and I had those for a long time before my

Hypertensive Crisis
Within 48 hours of having my Covid Pfizer booster my blood pressure has elevated to readings in the range of 203/100 - 196/115 for 2 days. My GP has prescribed me Amlodipine 5mg to take alongside Bisoprolol 2.5 which I have been taking for 5 years post heart attack. I started taking the Amlodipine immediately

Thyroid and Amlodipine
After being told I have a blood problem, and raised blood pressure, the GP put me on Amlodipine. I cannot find any reference to contra indications, but would like anyone who is on this to give me feedback. I know it is a calcium channel blocker, which may help my Raynaud's apparently, and I am sure

Amlodipine 5mg
Well, took one tablet of the new blood pressure tablets and reacted badly after several hours - severe headache, dizzy/disorientated, bellyache, nausea and finally sick! I checked the ingredients and there is a starch additive which could cone from corn, wheat or potatoes - and I am allergic to potatoes

Palpitations
I had a small HA nearly 5 years ago and am on Asprin, Remipril, Atorvastatin and Amlodipine. Over the last 10 months I've lost almost three stone (intentionally). I feel as if my internal organs are having a few issues with not having the visceral fat I had for three decades or so! I've had digestive

Review after 4weeks OFF bisoprolol
Well, I saw my gp this morning and we both agreed I need some sort of blood pressure medication. I asked for bendrfuromethiside(or however it’s spelt 🤣) as my normal bp outside of af episodes was fine, and I got no awful side effects (no peeing for England either!) but he wasn’t happy with that because

HBP and Anxiety - Best Time for Medication.
Hi all, hope you are all well, Just a comment today and a question. Firstly, no matter how hard it feels trying to get high blood pressure under control, don't be like me - impatient - you will get there it really is a matter of finding the right medication and this can take time. That and lifestyle

Amlodipine side effects and fitness
After a three month spike in blood pressure readings I’ve been prescribed 5mg Amlodipine as a supplement to 15mg candesarten. The spike returned readings of around 155/90 whilst for the four months prior had been well within 130/80. There was no questioning what happened in my life at time of the spike

Bisoprolol for HBP and Anxiety
Well I thought I was there - Controlled my BP with Ramipril and Amlodipine but now due to some side effects my GP has stopped the Amlodipine and replaced it with Bisoprolol. Anyone got experience of Beta Blockers for HBP? It may suit me as I also suffer from Anxiety but interested in any views. I start

Amlodipine causing joint pains?
Hi, I have been on 10 mg for about two months now. My pre-existing bi-lateral shoulder bursitis is causing me a lot of pain after a stable (ish) 2.5 years. My feet and ankles are swollen and it is painful to walk. Horrible fatigue. Hips and knees starting to feel stiff. I'm 52 and work full time but

Resting Heart rate
Good afternoon I hope you have all got a full tank of petrol (uk members). My question is what overnight resting heart rate is acceptable regarding being low. I seem to be going down to 45 at times. My iwatch shows 45 as my overnight average. I recently went from 5mg to 10mg of amlodipine. Does

Amlodipine for HBP
Hi Ramipril taken in the morning lowers my BP to around 110/73 all day. Brilliant success, However I am prescribed Amlodipine at night and when I wake my BP is 150/95 - Not such a success. Anyone else found this? I am having difficulty persuading my GP that I'm not getting good results with Amlodipine
