Since I was prescribed Zanydip, which is a Blood Pressure calcium blocker
for the heart, six weeks ago my joints have become very painful and I
cannot understand why this should suddenly start to happen as there has
been no change in my eating habits. Unless, of course it has something to
do with our recent move to Devon where the soil is very acid. So I'm
wondering if the water is affected by this acidity and causing me to have
joint pain? I know farmers have to lime their fields here to correct this
problem.
It's a puzzle - a painful one!
Does anyone here have a similar experience and what can be done about it?
TIA

Val, you might have more luck posting to alt support arthritis
It's mainly US based, and their tablets might have a different name, but
someone might be able to help.

I don't take Zanydip but I did take Simvastatin to lower my
cholesterol. I had to stop because of the increase in aches and
pains.
