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

If I don’t take spirolactone I fill with fluid within the week and need draining which is a pain

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

Update
I previously posted about my Bisoprolol being increased to help breathlessness when in fact it made it worse. Two weeks ago I went to the surgery for a blood test. Got half way across the car park and suddenly couldn't get any breath. This got worse and worse so the Drs called an ambulance and I was

Moderate Mitral Stenosis/Regurgitation and exercise
Hi, I was diagnosed a few months ago and am symptomatic with breathlessness when exercising and slightly swollen ankles, I take a 20mg dose of Furosemide daily and this has helped a bit with the breathlessness. I am very worried though as I exercise a lot, an hour cardio and weight lifting every single

Furosemide not working
Hi I have nephrotic syndrome which includes what feels to me to be a bad case of œdema. My weight has gone up by about 3 stone in the last two months, which means there's more than 15 litres of excess water inside me, which is uncomfortable and rather painful, especially in my legs. My consultant has

Reply to Q 'Do I have asthma & not know it?'
I know exactly the feeling in my respiratory tract and scenario you describe. I had to see a Locum GP and he changed my life. He prescribed Furosemide, sold under the brand name Lasix. My Cardiologist said it's not necessarily because I have heart failure. I think the respiratory tract is in a constant

ivabradine
Does anyone take ivabradine? I am currently on Losartan, Spironolactone, Furosemide and Rivaroxaban. I was on Digoxin which I tolerated well as I can't take bisoprolol. I have researched it and wonder if anyone has suffered the side affects. Just interested as sometimes I do wonder 'why' this or that
