Experiences with

Amiloride / Furosemide

Take ARBs, epleronone, bisoprolol, furosemide, amlodipine, amiloride. BP fantastically well controlled now for past 16 years. It was under medicated for years by my GP who said it was only white coat hypertension (which it wasnt).

Hi All, I've been lurking since getting my diagnosis of cirrhosis in July last year and I wanted to share my story. For some backstory, I had abdominal pain and a distended abdomen for several weeks which I just saw as me putting on weight due to the lockdown. So I started to make improvements to my

My nephrologist wants me to take 5mg of this potassium-sparing prescription. I have googled but would like your input. Anything ??? Thanks :)

Since I have been diagnosed with an EV of 25% four months back the lower abdomen area feels so delicate. There is little apetite.

Dear Community, I was diagnosed with dilated left ventricle with severely impaired systolic function and EF of 25%. I used to be active with daily walks in the park but now suffer from exertional breathlessness on simple tasks like walking up a flight of stairs. Furosemide, Carvedilol, Candersartan were

My 87 year old dad has been in AandE 3 times over the last week with oedema that comes on at night with delerium linked to heart failure. But seems to be no improvement when he comes out of Aand E They've taken him off furosemide and put in a urinary catheter. His bloods and urine come back as unremarkable

My HF nurse advised me to reduce my fruesmide from 40mg BD to 40mg OD, it was only 24 hrs before I got breathlessness and then air hunger. So I lncreased it back to twice a day. What experience have you all had in reducing medications? They are doing it so they can increase my Ramipril, but my BP is

Hi Whilst in hospital over Christmas, it was decided upon a pace and ablate for my a fib which is now persistent and has given me cardiac decompensation. However, there was a U turn and the consultants decided to try me on further drugs and give them a bit of time first. I was discharged on 10 mg bisoprolol

Ok so second day home after AVR via OHS on Monday. I have a couple of questions. I’m still pretty knackered all the time and keep falling asleep but guess that is just the body’s way of telling you to take it easy. I feel like I have stitch a lot of the time. Worse when sitting down. Has anyone

Finally got out late evening yesterday and very relieved to be home. Plenty of rest today although my blood pressure keeps dropping low. I hate these drugs but am hoping my body adapts. I have normal blood pressure without drugs so they were worried in controlling my rate, it may drop too low. Currently

Hi everyone, have a question about weight loss. I was diagnoses with heart failure few years ago. I never had trouble losing weight if I exercised and my BMI was never too high.

Prescribed Gabapentin at night which helps & codeine in the day. Waiting for last in-depth analysis

What a horrible 4 weeks. So after a year no infections with Bronchiectasis and being so careful around Covid ended up getting Nephroctic Syndrome of the kidneys. Still waiting for full biopsy results but it gave me awful fluid retention and I swelled up from ankles to abdomen even gave me small pleural

Hi has anyone had a reaction to Furosemide? I have a itchy rash with hives all over my body since I’ve started to take them. It’s the only new medication I’ve had & no change in food, soap powder etc.

So please excuse in advance what will look like a lack of response here, and very short posts elsewhere on the forum. Short although not sweet - I'm fighting off another acute flare of my recurrent pericarditis and am being shoehorned in for an echo tomorrow to check for increased pericardial effusion

I had the above blood test on 27th October. Was finally told the results today via snail mail. BNP is showing as 1278. I'm assuming this confirms heart failure? Cardiac nurse is asking GP to prescribe me Furosemide 40mg for three days then 20mg daily after. I have constant afib following a massive pulmonary
