Ascites Long Term
Hello All, I've had Ascites now for eighteen months. At first I confused the symptoms with a hernia that I had which has since been repaired. After a visit to my GP, he told me I had IBS and gave me some pills to alleviate that. Two weeks later I was back at the GP's. This time he examined me and said

Fluid retention affecting feet especially left foot and possibly causing breathing problems?
Help please. Have AF. Fluid retention especially bad with left foot worrying me. Pace maker inserted recently to stop heart going too slow with Bisoprolol 10 mg and Diltiazem 240mg to prevent heart trying to race - it goes into episodes of Tachycardia lasting several days. My GP let me have Furosemide

compensated question
Saw one of my consultants doctors last week who felt on examination that ascities was gone. I asked him does that mean I’m compensated and he said I could be. He sent me for an ultrasound and the results were good apart from the usual cirrhosis scarring and gallstones. Trace fluid also which he said

Hello. Mums heart failure has been quite stable thanks to the medicines she’s on. In May she was discharged from the cardiology as a result. However, I’ve noticed that the swelling that she normally has in her feet seems to be spreading up her legs a bit. Worried this means this are going bad now. She

Finally Diagnosed Yesterday.
Just wanted to join and see what it's all about here. I'm pretty scared having found out as the hospital doctor described mine as "Quite advanced". They put me on 40mg Furosemide and 2.5 mg Biscoprolol. probably a daft question but roughly , when could i expect to feel a bit better? I'm very tired,
