Breathlessness
Hi Forum Friends, last year I was diagnosed with AF after a health check ECG. I have never had any symptoms of this no attacks or problems. I am on 2.5 bisoprolol, Antorvastatin, Ramipril, Apixaban and Furosemide. My problem is breathlessness. 100 yards and I am wrecked. I was so fit a year ago, gym

Spironolactone
Does anyone have experience of taking Spironolactone? I've been on Furosemide 2 x 40 mg for ages but it's started giving me very painful episodes of gout, the last one in my hand, which interfered with everything, in addition to being excruciating. I'm 4 days in to 2 x 50 of Spironolactone instead but

Second Post-Bypass Review – Getting There Slowly
So yesterday I went for my second review and to pick up the results of a host of blood tests a week ago. Again the (new to the practice) GP was very through checking BP, weight, pulse and oedema. It was felt that the oedema had cleared (post-op electrolyte imbalance) and that I could now drop the Frusemide

Furosemide
My husband has been prescribed Furosemide diuretic for fluid build up due to heart irregularities . He already has a low weight . This was discussed with the GP who said he was not over concerned about the weight , and any loss with the tablets . Blood pressure has dropped to 98/44 since the tablets

Furosemide
My doctor prescribed 40 mg/day, 4 days on, 3 days off for me for when I travel---my nickname is "swellin' Helen" every time I get on a plane. LOL. I did a trial run for 4 days, and am not supposed to take it for the next 3... does that mean I will just gain back the 12 pounds of water weight I lost (

Do I or Don't I - more than a little confused now
After suffering from Cardio problems for more years than pussy was a kitten I ended up being totally taken aback at an appointment that had been postponed 3 times last Monday. Having been told I was in Heart Failure and taking a pile of pills the original plan last October was to have a Micro Perfusion

Another update pneumonia.
Just to bring you all up to speed. I went to the Drs on Thursday night and she said I still had the crackles in my left lung. She took a blood test there and then and sent me for an urgent X Ray which I had the next morning. I rang late afternoon to see if there was anything and they hadn’t even looked

Queasy
Hi all, presently on apixaban, digoxin, adizam, and statins recently had a two lead pacemaker. 13 years open heart surgery for a mitral valve repair. My GP a few weeks ago gave frusemide, now feeling queasy, and a horrid taste in mouth. I have stopped frusemide today , my thinking is that’s the problem

How to lose 5kg (11lb) in 24 hrs.
That is how much weight in body fluid that I have just lost virtually overnight due to a diarrhoea bug. This was followed by excruciatingly painful stomach gas ejections (or farting as the NHS Site calls it.) I honestly can't understand how the porcelain remained intact, I could swear that one blast

Side effects of diuretics Part 2
Thank you for the helpful answers to my query of yesterday. I went to see the GP this morning. She said she'd never heard of extreme fatigue being a side effect of Furosemide. I showed her the leaflet which does indicate that 'tiredness, fever or generally feeling unwell' is one of the less common side
