Experiences with

Amiloride / Bumetanide

Hi All, I've been lurking since getting my diagnosis of cirrhosis in July last year and I wanted to share my story.

When I was diagnosed with kidney failure I was warned about the problems in getting treatment right with heart failure complications. I thought I was doing so well but now I feel as if I'm on a see/saw toing and froing. My Bumetanide was reduced just half a tablet to give my kidneys a chance as I was

Lately I’ve been suffering from dizziness sharp pains in the head. I stopped taking bumetanide a week ago to see if the problem subsided and it has slightly. Told my doctor he sent me for blood tests and all came back clear but he has not contacted me. Does anyone else suffer from this..

I've had latest blood test results yesterday. All results slightly worse that is heart function, kidney function,thyroid function,and diabetes which I've just received the honorable label for! So this is now going to be a full time job. The first action has been to reduce my bumetanide to see if the

Hi I have been sticking to a 1200 calorie a day diet for three weeks and lost 2lbs first and second week I put on 1lbs this last week.

Hey I was diagnosed with heart failure in January and ended up in hospital. I was told to exercise and left hospital on bumetanide, bisoprolol and lisinoprol.

I am taking .. Fostair inhaler, losartan potassium, bumetanide, amniodorone , warfarin. Since starting the amniodorone, prescribed by a registrar in my GPs, I have had swollen feet.

Whilst on holiday in Goa on Sunday 2 February my heart rate dropped below 40 - my Watch BP machine does not register a heart rate below 40.

Morning Everyone. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic pain syndrome. It has taken 4 years to get to this point as I also have spinal degeneration in my neck and lower back which was clouding the symptoms of the fibromyalgia. I had a spinal fusion on C4 C5 & C6 C7 last August but

Has anyone experienced resistance to diuretics? My furusamide stopped working and I'm now on bumetanide which is better but I still feel bloated and my weight is not moving up or down. I've increased my intake of fluids advised by h.f. nurses. Any tips would be appreciated.

I'm back again following a medical MOT. I failed but not miserably! My heart is weaker but that's to be expected I expect! The good news I think is that I've been taken off bisoprolol completely and I take the complete dose of Nebivolol at night (7.5) I had a good night's sleep broken only by Maverick

My husband has been a drinker averaging 6 cans a night for around 40 years. In Aug 2019 he found himself in hospital with swelling up to his abdomen and extreme coughing and breathlessness.
