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.

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

Isosorbide
This has just been increased to 40mg twice a day from 30mg twice a day. Despite the small increase I have started to get really bad headache which I can't shake off. Has anyone else experienced this and if so is it short lived? I also take verapamil and furosemide. With many thanks,

How do you feel daily since your diagnosis? Am I normal?
Back in Nov. of 2019 I had bad swelling in my abdomen so a friend took me to the ER. I was a daily beer drinker 8-12 a day for approximately 26 years. The last 7 of those years I was drinking Vodka and soda. They said I had problems with my liver and needed paracentesis, I stayed in the hospital for
