Hyponatremia, Raynaud's and P.S.V.T
I recently was taken to hospital with a bad episode of P.S.V.T., a condition I've had since I was eight. Blood tests showed that my sodium level was a bit low. It has been at the sub-clinical level for some time. Raynaud's which I have had since my 20's suddenly began to cause me problems: Pains and

Nifedipine/blood pressure
it’s been a long time since I posted . I do however read other people’s stories and I think the conversations are amazing with so much advice been given thus encouraging people to often be able to advocate for themselves with the medics. I was diagnosed in 2015 but like many others believe the Scleroderma

Has anyone been prescribed Fluoxetine for Raynaud's?
I have taken 4mg of Lacidipine for Raynaud's for several years. Nifedipine caused bad headaches so Lacidipine was prescribed instead. I don't get full blown 3 phase Raynaud's attacks these days but my fingers are often blue for long periods of time despite being in a warm environment and my feet suffer

Secondary Raynauds , haemorrhaged capillaries near fingernails
I've had secondary raynauds for about 3 years, diagnosed by nailfold capillaroscopy and thermology (just told bluntly that my capillaries are abnormal) I've had all sorts of issues from it like poor/distorted nail growth, white fingers when cold and red puffy fingers when warm, chillblains, red skin

Changed from atenolol to bisoprolol
Hi! I saw my consultant nurse on Tuesday who said my recent ziopatch showed more ectopic beats and episodes of VT. I was on 50mg of atenolol once a day for 10 years, had no issues but did feel it maybe wasn’t quite working as well lately. So she has switched me to bisoprolol 2.5mg twice a day. I’ve had

BP issues.
So I've been on this forum for approximately 2 years.When I was first diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease, my blood pressure had exceeded 179 /90; my eGFR 55. Upon seeing my PCP, I was prescribed Losartan 25 mg daily. I titrated dose 12.5mg twice day; I was overweight by 50 lbs. Now, 2 years later

Stopping Losartan
Hello. I wonder if you can give me some advice. I am 73 years old. I have been living with some degree of hypertension most of my life, and on medication since I had an aneurysm in 2005. A dose which controlled my blood pressure of Atenolol 100 + Enalapril 10 was established not long after that, and

Atenolol supply, upset by new alternative.
I am in Scotland and have been taking the same brand of Atenolol for over 20 years, it is the Almus Bristol brand which is also lactose free. I have many gastric conditions and also biliary/ liver problems and for some reason this tablet has given me no side effects in all this time. Fast forward

Are all Blood Pressure Meds Awful?
I realise they may be/are lifesaving, but after nearly 30 years I am running out of options for BP control. For many years I took 25mg atenolol, 20 Lisinopril and 1.5 Indapamide. The latter seemed to make the biggest difference. I can’t take large doses of beta blockers as they stop me from breathing

afib and a flutter
I was diagnosed with Afib after I lost my husband in 2020. It does run in my family, but up to 63 years of age I was perfectly fine. Long story short I was just put on Atenolol and my hair is falling out. Has anyone ever experience this? Atenolol is a beta blocker.

change of medication to Atenolol from Bisoprolol
I have been on Bisoprolol for a couple of weeks but I haven’t felt great. I felt tired and foggy most of the time, struggled to get my breath and my feet were freezing. I have spoken to the pharmacist at our surgery and he has changed my medication to Atenolol even though he said Bisoprolol was the preferred

Raynaud's without colour changes
Hello, my hands are very sensitive to cold weather and temperatures. This has been going on for years and I do take Nifedipine, except during summer, to ease the symptoms. However, I have never had my fingers or toes change colour ever. They just feel cold. Is this really Raynaud's? I've told my
