My husband had successful cardioversion on Tuesday but weight went up by 4lb by Thursday morning we are guessing it’s to do with the extra hours lying on a bed and no activity that day, not much the next. Extra Furosemide yesterday has shifted 2lb and doing the same today. Any other tips on keeping fluid at bay without extra furosemide please ?
