Felodipine
I’m 70 I had a couple of spikes in blood pressure this year, both times when in a lot of pain - a root filling needed and a case of shingles and was advised to see GP. I would say my average blood pressure has been between 130 and 140/90 so outside the normal range I started on felodipine six weeks

Change of meds
I have been taking isosorbide mononitrate for coronary artery spasm but recently changed to amlodipine following the cardiologists discharge notes. Obviously I need to give the new meds time to work after 10 days of taking them. The symptoms still come and go and can feel my heart sensations more. Anxiety

How low can you go ? Blood pressure GP policy and general guidance
Hi I have had high blood pressure for over 20 years. At some point in my late 20s (I am now 51), a GP decided I met the criteria for high blood pressure and prescribed medication. For most of the next 20 years I had an annual or semi annual check at the surgery and a blood test every year. They would

Alternatives to Amlodipine
Hello I am 51 years old male, and for many years my blood pressure had been controlled by 100mg of Losartan (ACE Inhibitor) but my GP changed my meds this year adding Amlodipine (calcium channel blocker), firstly 5mg and now 10mg. My blood pressure now averages around 117/75. Before (just on Losartan

Indapamide and stomach bloating
Hi, I suffer from high BP and am now on my fourth tablet. Amlodipine and felodipine made me swell everywhere, Lercanidipine gave me an all over body rash, now I'm trying 2.5mg Indapamide. Started taking it 6 days ago and from day 3 I've been suffering with a hard bloated stomach, anyone else suffered

Af and coughs
Had a niggly cough for several months and then diagnosed with Af. Now on beta blockers, anti coagulants, gastro tablets and amlodipine. Now have a stinking cold and cough is really annoying. My question is, does af cause the cough or do the meds affect the cough. I do not feel breathless and I can walk

AFib status: Permanent for at least the past two years. 75 years old. Medication: Apixaban, 5mg Bisoprolol, Amlodipine, 5mg Ramipril, Atorvastatin. No offers by my doctor of a cardioversion or an ablation. I have been fairly stable on those meds since it was confirmed that I had Permanent Afib.
