[QUOTE="Hobs, post: 431732, member: 24693"] I can only tell you about my experience of heart problems and this may not apply to you but could be worth more research. I am inflcted with A-fib amongst other ticker troubles and the heart rate side is controlled very well indeed by a beta blocker known as Sotalol. I take it for the A-fib arrhythmia (60mg every 6hrs) but it also keeps my heart paced very calmly at around 60-65 BPM at rest. BP is also controlled very well via 5mg Amplodipine and 16mg Candesartan at around 110-120 over 60-70 depending on how close to a meal the measurement is taken. I have a good home monitor (Omron arm cuff type) and check it daily as part of my Expert Patient participation role in conjunction with my GP and the various clinics I have to attend. Oh yes, and I could not tollerate the standard ACE inhibitors (asthma) such as your Perindropril, so hence the Canedesarten and no dry cough or wheezing. You did not mention your age .. I am 70 and male. My home BP monitor:- [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Omron-Pressure-Dual-User-Facility-Dual-Size/dp/B001DBQIJW/ref=sr_1_1?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1381231801&sr=1-1&keywords=Omron+M10+IT+Blood+pressure+monitor]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Omron-Pressure- ... re+monitor[/url] [/QUOTE]
