what now? after pace & ablate.

I have been given 40mg furosemide and 5mg Amiloride the furosemide to be increased to 80mg if needed. Although this has improved the outcome I am still quite breathless. do I accept this or pursue things further? I have to return to my EP on 22nd of March or cancel if I am happy.I have been given 40mg furosemide and 5mg Amiloride the furosemide to be increased to 80mg if needed.

Five times in the past five years I have had a horrible experience, the first of which led to my eventual diagnosis of AF, then HF and eventually DCM. I’m on the top dose of Entresto, 12.5 mg bisoprolol plus digoxin, atorvastatin, Apixaban, and furosemide.

another ablation

I went down with AF three years ago but due to a clot in my heart I could not get any treatment until 2019 when it had dissolved.

Starting on Leflunomide and not feeling good.

I started taking Leflunomide at 10mg per day last Friday and don't know if the way I have been feeling is due to side effects from them or not.

Suggestions for reducing spironolactone and furosemide without having a rebound

Anyone with experience or tips for reducing and coming off of diuretics. I have read about and experienced a rebound effect of putting on water weight quickly.

very high blood pressure
