Hello. As I begin to write this it's 5:45 in the morning here. Trying to get at least some type of sleep. Still having loads of anxiety but trying to calm myself down to at least write this. Glancing over once in a while to check oxymeter, heart rate ranging from 92 to 104, oxygen steady at 96-97.

Increased symptoms as meds increased?
I was diagnosed with LV failure earlier this year (EF 35%). Over the last 6 months or so, I've been weaned onto the standard meds - 5mg bisoprolol (bd), 94mg Entresto (bd), dapaglyflozin and eplerinone. A week ago, I started on furosemide 20mg. However, although my BP and heart rate have come back into

SWOLLEN ANKLES WITH LUNG CONDITION
Hi, This is my first post on here I think. Almost a year ago I was in hospital as I couldn't breath, felt like I was suffocating. I'd had a chest x-ray 6 months previous and was told my lungs were quite normal and my dr couldn't find a reason for my breathlessness. It did improve for a while, but came

Hey all, mums chirosis continues to cause us fun each day. I’m now pretty much at the stage of forcing her to eat little and often as she is never hungry, and is never thirsty despite all of her lips cracking and her tounge swelling. When she drinks, it’s as though she is trying to swallow knives or

Add Lanzaprole - a medication taken to combat excessive acid damage to the lining of the stomach, then add Spironolactone, used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure in the form of a water tablet and finally Furosemide, yet another "water tablet" bringing up the rear of this modest collection

Hello again. Questions with AF medications
Hi. Need to ask this question on current medications. Furosemide (water pill) 40 mg. once per day. Metoprolol (heart pill) 75 mg. twice a day. And Xarelto (blood thinner) 20 mg. once per day. Has anyone experienced any type of anxiety while on these types of AF medications? I occasionally suffer

Blood Pressure Disaster - Part Deux
The saga continues. So finally my Primary Care doctor is back from vacation and I snag an appointment. My blood pressure since the change in medication has been high and my nephrologist just keeps upping the doses. I was at 150 mg of Metoprolol (is that a record?), 320 mg of Valsartan and 20 mg of

steroids and diuretics
we may need to discuss some diuretics with the GP. Mum is currently receiving some respite care and her legs are becoming swollen….they’re not as good as insisting on the elevation as I do at home. I notice there’s a bit of a flag with prednisolone and furosemide due to potassium issues. Has anyone

Confused about Statins
I'm probably just ignorant re- the benefits of Statins, but, I'm a bit confused following an appt with GP practice Pharmacist. I received a text saying they'd like to discuss my Cholesterol and a medicine for improving my heart and kidney health. I'm still under the care of the Heart Failure Team, so

Ascites Long Term
Hello All, I've had Ascites now for eighteen months. At first I confused the symptoms with a hernia that I had which has since been repaired. After a visit to my GP, he told me I had IBS and gave me some pills to alleviate that. Two weeks later I was back at the GP's. This time he examined me and said
