I have ckd stage 4b thanks to iodine contrast dye for angiogram (went ftom 78 to under 28)

Does anyone rkse have problrms with taking furosemide? I jave had one kidney dr say never take it. Another say yes once a week and my newest dr says yes, every day! Good job I am not that stupid. I have to take it once a week as have heart failure too and a second time on a very bad week for the swelling and heart problems. I get all the side effects of nearly all drugs it seems but i get unusual bleeding...for any orafice...with furosemide and blood clots from my bladder and vagina. Is it ssafe to keep taking it? Is there any other which wont do this? Its the only kind of diuretic which works for me. I dont nèed bp lowering as it is already a bit too low. Please if anyone knows, please help me. Get no help from drs here, sadly.

Taking any drug should first be checked out for harmful side effects. There are times when a decision must be made to help one organ and the slight risk of harm to another. That choice should be yours and yours alone. Research Furosemide (Lasix) thoroughly before you make your decision.
