How To Tolerate Medications.

[birdie73]

I have IBS, Irregular Heartbeat, Chlondritis, have approx 20 years ago had a TIA.am in my 70's & have a disabled husband so am also his carer.
I take Bisoprolol 2.5mg cannot increase this as my GP would like me to as it makes me feel ill, I also take Candesarton 2mg Furosemide 40mg, Spironolactone 25mg & Aspirin 75mg. 6 months ago I had a very brief blackout which was believed to be a momentary heart stoppage & have just been given back my driving licence. Have in the past taken Warfarin But after having a bleed it was stopped, but recently it was deccided to start it again however that made me ill, I have also been given & tried the new Dabigatran 110mg twice daily but once again cannot tolerate them.
Can anyone help me with this problem ? Is it my IBS that causes it there is nothing wrong in my stomach or bowels as I have all the tests including a capsule endoscopy.

birdie are you under any consultants? here in Hampshire. some of the clinics have access to polypharmacy (taking drugs till you rattle lol) specialist assessments. It might be worth asking your consultant or GP if there is anything like that in your area.

Blimey.......I am not sure what your problem is, to be honest.
I am not sure which medication is giving you what problem...seems all a bit jumbled.

How does Bisoprolol make you feel ill?
How did warfarin make you ill?
How does Dabigatran make you ill?

Thanks woofgang yes I have had several hospital appointments but am now under the care of my GP will ask him about the clinic on my next visit.

Squad All the medications that I am unable to take have the same results :---
Dizziness, Diarrhea,nausea, headache & generally feeling unwell.

i dont understand "there is nothing wrong in my stomach or bowels" given you have IBS - isn't that something wrong with your baowels?

bednobs IBS is ongoing I have had it for years & apart from taking tablets like colofac etc there is nothing more can be done but grin & bear it !!!
All the tests I have been given are to check there is nothing more sinister going on.
