Chronic Cryptogenic Cirrhosis at age 27
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

Failed too reduce my frusemide
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

Pace and Ablate for Persistent A fib - Your Experiences?
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

Q’s after AVR through OHS 6 days ago
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 home-Happy New Year to you all
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

Weight loss and heart failure
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. However, since February this year I started to work out regulary ( cycling 5-10 km a day and lifting weights few times a week

New Nephrotic Syndrome. A nurse who used to work in Renal medicine how ironic. Preliminary diagnosis of Minimal Change Disease
Home from hospital with added Covid but hopefully only minor symptoms to add to the mix. On Prednisone 40mgs Frusemide Atoravastatin Ramipril Calcium Omeprazole. Does anyone else get awful leg pains. Prescribed Gabapentin at night which helps & codeine in the day. Waiting for last in-depth analysis

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

A rash when taking Furosemide
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.

Oh ok, I admit it - not doing all that well the now
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

NTproBNP blood test
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

Furosemide side effects
I am suffering severe hearing loss and inflammation of big toe joints. I understand these are known side effects of the diuretic Furosemide. It was prescribed by GP because I have slight heart failure and various heart valve problems and in danger of water collecting round organs, although I have no

New HFpEF diagnosis
Hi, I’ve just been diagnosed with HFpEF ( heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) and I was seen by a private cardiologist. I presented in clinic with swollen feet, legs and ankles and breathlessness when going up stairs. I also had a slightly raised BNP blood level. I have been prescribed Furosemide

Blood Test Essential with Omeprazole
Hi I had an endoscopy/colonoscopy last June, the results of which indicated I had mild gastritis.

Consequently diagnosed with heart failure, sent to a clinic to have

AF diagnosis but feeling suffocated when not in AF as well??
Having a bit of a rough time here. In and out of fast AF although medicated. Looks like I might have an enlarged heart, had echocardiogram done about 6 or more weeks ago, and heart monitor for 7 days. I know they definately captured some of my issues because of a few of the days I was so ill. Cardiologist

Dependent Oedema
Went to routine cardiologist appointment today and discovered why my ankles were often swollen. Although there are serious ailments that could cause lower leg and foot swellings, I learned that mine was "dependent or gravitational Oedema" which I had never heard of. Given exercise advice and Furosemide

swollen ankles and weight gain
Hello everyone! I would just like to ask if anyone has any experience in using Furosemide for swollen ankles and possibly stomach in connection with their heart problems. I have been on these since May this year and I am still putting on weight. I have been very active on the treadmill and exercising
