I wonder if an ultrasonic atomiser would help? Water plus an oil of your
choice (Olbas works, and you can add any other essential oil you like).

The short term nuclear option is fisherman's friend. To keep it away, liquorice & thyme work wonders. About 16 soft liquorice sweets a day and a pinch of thyme in tea 3 or 4 times.

Chop a white onion, cover in brown sugar, and sip the liquid that
collects at the bottom. Add snake oil to taste.
Back in the day I used to put chopped onion in my socks, the theory
being that it gets absorbed quicker through the soles of the feet.

I had that (along with a lot of other reactions) after taking wrongly
prescribed blood pressure tablets. Check if it is listed amoung the side
effects of the medication you are taking and then go back to your doctor.

eg The most common one that can cause the sort of problems you have are
ACE inhibitors (not the medication I had):
"The most common side effect is a persistent dry cough. If side effects
become particularly troublesome, a medication that works in a similar way
to ACE inhibitors, known as an angiotensin-2 receptor antagonist (ARB),
may be recommended". see the NHS site:

If ankles are swelling see GP IMMEDIATELY.

That's heart failure (as opposed to a heart attack) and you need to find
a better way to reduce BP.

I really do feel that's more than a bit hyperbolic given (a) very many

(b) the poor chap's unlikely to be able to see his GP "immediately"

That's heart failure (as opposed to a heart attack) and you need to
find a better way to reduce BP.

I really do feel that's more than a bit hyperbolic given (a) very many
people have those symptoms as a side-effect to Amlodipine (not to
mention for umpteen other reasons) without having any heart problems
and
(b) the poor chap's unlikely to be able to see his GP "immediately"
after 20:00 no matter how loudly you shout at him. Naturally it's
worth
checking but IIRC from assorted relatives etc who were on Amlodipine
the
swelling is often treated by a diuretic such as Furosemide.

Not what my GP said. Took one look and said 'lets try perindropril
instead'.



Well, I survived the night with my Amlodipine symptoms. Might stroll
round to the surgery later. Usually no wait if I don't care which doc
I see. Don't want that young Asian bird looking at my todger though

Why ? Because she laughs so loud that everyone in the surgery will hear
her ?

She'd be gasping for breath

Then you are doing it wrong, she should be choking for breath.
