Hi everyone I know I have not been the best at posting recently. I have on the whole been ok. Although last week I was really struggling with fluid retention and it really made me feel unwell. My water meds have been changed and one has been increased. I’m defo feeling better now thankfully. I also put 4 and pounds on in two days. That is now slowly coming off and my heart failure nurse is in regular contact with me

Dear You

Sorry to hear that the old water retention has been a worry, I am going through the same sort of thing, between running to the loo and taking yet another tablet, its all a bit of a pain.

But they can balance it out, it just takes time , putting on 4 pounds of fluid must have been very uncomfortable for you.

I hope that its sorted soon, was really nice to hear from you.

Take care
