I also take 15mg Bisoprol, 2.5mg Indapamide and 40 mg Olmesartan together with 60mg Edoxaban in the morning and 8mg Doxazosin at night. A week ago he changed my Lercandipine dosage to 20mg and to take it in the evening

AF confused about heart rate
Hi all, I’m newly diagnosed with AF, it was initially picked up by my Fitbit in August then again in September. I started on Bisoprolol 2.5mg and Apaxiban 5mg twice a day in October. As far as I understand AF is a very fast heart rate, mine was 174, since starting the Bisoprolol my resting HR is now

propranolol for SVT
I’m on
olmesartan
and
amlodipine
for BP control. I was put on 12.5 mg carvedilol twice daily for rate control which made me feel breathless and exhausted . Changed to Metaprolol which was worse, so put back on carvedilol and told to deal with it.

Gynecomastia
18 months ago I developed gynecomastia of my left breast. I was on several medications but when I switched from amlodipine (5 mgs per day) to lisinopril (5 mgs per day) the gynecomastia resolved within 6 weeks. Has anyone had this side effect from taking amlodipine?

Insurance company issues
Hi everyone. I'm new to this so I've no idea whether anyone can advise me. I've recently been told I need bypass surgery and it's apparently quite urgent. I've got private health insurance (since 2021, never used), but when I contacted them they said that because I've been on statins since 2015 and am

Doxazosin and anxiety

Since being on the Doxazosin I have been suffering some anxiety over quite unimportant stuff, very out of character for me. I also feel my heart pounding quite alot when I'm

HBP diagnosed Jan2023. On 5mg Amlodipine. Good response within few months; controlled BP @120/75-130/85 (as at May2024)
Prescribed Amlodipine 5mg daily early Jan 2023. By mid Feb the meds did their job with mild side-effects (numbness in hands/feet with swollen ankles from sitting at a desk for extended periods). These moderated 10 days. 11 months on (Dec 2023) I am happy with my results. I get swollen ankles if I sit

Diagnosed HBP Dec 2022. On Amlodipine 5mg since Jan 2023. All good as at May 2024.
Prescribed Amlodipine 5mg daily early Jan 2023. By mid Feb the meds did their job with mild side-effects (numbness in hands/feet with swollen ankles from sitting at a desk for extended periods). These moderated 10 days. Sitting long periods is no good = swollen ankles. Exercise resolves that within
