Is anyone else with dilated cardiomyopathy experiencing frequent urination at night? It’s driving me crazy now! 😣

Needing to pee more at night.

I usually visit the loo once during the night.Are you on any 'water' tablets?

[Curlyman83 in reply to DaveTR]

Same. I’m on Eplerenone an have to get up once a night.

[Sez10 in reply to Curlyman83]

No I’m not, I’m getting up 4/5 times a night!

This is something I can sympathise with. I have often wondered if meds make me go more often (Ramipril, Atorvastatin, Aspirin), or is it just CAD generally?

[Sez10 in reply to ChoochSiesta]

As I am newly diagnosed and only on bisoprolol at the mo I’m worried that it’s fluid retention or something like that? Like somethings wrong? 😳

[Sez10 in reply to ChoochSiesta]

It’s really hard to know isn’t it, especially when fluid retention is significant to our conditions 😣

i have mild CAD.. last few weeks i’ve been going to the toilet every couple of hours.. handed urine sample in and was advised it was abnormal.. sent to hospital lab.. result was ‘satisfactory’.. still peeing frequently .. and still don’t know what the abnormalities were.. type 2 diabetic and have chronic kidney disease stage 3b.. on water tablet for years.. never had this problem before

Oh bless you, sorry to hear of all your issues! If you are not satisfied then go back to your GP and tell them. You must get it checked further 😊

[ChoochSiesta in reply to Manhattan1]

Going every 2 hours has always been "normal" for me. Have had numerous urine tests over the years, no issues raised.

definitely new experience for me lol
