Side effects of diuretics
One of the main side effects I experience from Prednisolone is swollen feet and ankles. Last week during the very hot weather I couldn't even get on the old canvas gym shoes that I normally wear. My doctor sent me for a blood test to make sure my kidney functions are normal and then prescribed a diuretic

Spironolactone
I have had AF since 2013. I am on Apixaban (2x 5mg), Bisoprolol 10mg, Furosemide 20mg, Digoxin 62.5, Ranitidine (2 x 150 mg) and Spironolactone 25mg. I had been having abdominal/chest pains feeling exhausted so have an Angiogram booked in for June as Heart Failure seems to be on the cards. Plus

Morning all! Hope you’re all having a lovely Bank Holiday and enjoying the sunshine! Just a quick question, I’m on 80mg of Furosemide a day, 40mg in a morning then 40 on an afternoon, is this normal to have them staggered like that? I just find it a nightmare trying to a) remember to take the afternoon

Update on Ejection Fraction

( which he did ) He does have Disease in his LAD which goes on to supply a large septal and diagonal territory

Water retention
I take 20 mg a day of Frusemide for fluid retention to be increased to 40 mg for 4 days if I am suffering badly. However, I find this extra dose doesn’t help a lot and when I start to really fill up with fluid, I usually suffer an Afib episode. Does anyone else suffer from this problem? Di

Breathlessness
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has had the same problems as my. I had a cardiac arrest back in June 2016, I mean, I actually died with it for so many minutes, causing more issues (blood not getting to major organs). Anyway the staff did tremendous work on me & I survived with the aid of a Pacemaker

New post from a New Member, Any Advice Please?
Hi, just been diagnosed in the last few weeks with liver cirrhosis. Long story, but caught food poisoning on a diving holiday and it refused to clear up. After about 6 weeks the doctor did a blood test and initially thought I had liver cancer. Went into hospital and they couldn’t find any evidence

Hi, I'm new to this...
Hello all, bit of a long story! My husband had a pacemaker fitted beginning of November, had to have the procedure twice as one of the leads had become detached. As a result the consultant stopped his diuretics for a few days because of possible upset to his kidneys. As a result he ended up with fluid
