Old age is such fun...

I'll see you're lansoprazole, ramipril and atorvastatin and raise you amlodopine. Would have been propranolol (adrenaline suppresant) as well but that led to six hours in A & E with the pulse rate monitor beeping continuously, so I now manage my essential tremor as best I can - as you say such fun....

Okay, I'll play my hand.

Atorvastatin 80mg, Bisoprolol 1.25mg and Candesartan 4mg, plus a daily aspirin and occasionally Lansoprazole to protect me from it. I've been taking that lot for 20 years.

I am now having a 3-monthly injection of Inclisiran, a new treatment for high cholesterol (in addition to the max strength statins). Genetic high LDL is my problem; my arteries were blocked at an early age, I had angina in my early 40s and a double bypass at 49. Luckily, the meds do their job in keeping me healthy. The biggest benefit was hitting 60 and not having to pay for them any more!
