Nausea after valve replacement and bypass
Had my mitral valve replaced and a bypass 4 weeks ago now, and have been home 3 weeks. Suffered nausea and lack of appetite from day 1 out of surgery, and aches and pains until this weekend - miraculously they all seem to have gone away. However the nausea seems to actually be getting worse, took me

pain in arms, looking for alternative to naproxen
Hi, I have been struggling with fluid retention and swollen legs for some time now. Last week my orthopaedic consultant requested that I go into hospital so they could have a good look at the wound on my left foot as it wasn't healing very well. I had been taking naproxen for arthritis and shoulder pain

Pacemaker Box Replacement
After 13 years my pacemaker is coming to the end of its useful life and I have been called for a replacement next week at my local NHS hospital. My current medication includes Apixaban, Sotalol, Candesartan and Furosemide. Past 80, little choice and am somewhat apprehensive of all that is involved. Anybody

Heart failure
Saw cardiologist in March. He asked me who told me I had heart failure, I told him he had told me five years ago and yearly ever since. I saw him before my valve replacement. He said he wasn't sure I had heart failure. Sent for battery of tests and then got letter saying I have heart failure with

Fluid retention after CABG
Hey guys,I was wondering if anyone has suffered from long term water retention after having a CABG (quadruple)? The reason I ask is because my father has been taking 40mg of Furosemide for the past 10 years and his legs have been slowly getting worse. Any help/suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

Has anyone had furosemide stopped?
Hi everyone, Just wanted to know if anyone else has been on furosemide long term and then had it stopped? To my surprise, I had a call from cardiology last week and was offered a cancellation appointment for mum. My previous post was about how annoyed I was that the appointment got cancelled 2 days

Magnesium Taurate

Bloated stomach and coughing
Hey allI've noticed my stomach is rather bloated and I'm constantly coughing. It's been like it a few days. I take furosemide and dapagliflozin to stop any fluid retention. I've noticed I'm getting tired more as well. Is it worth bothering my heart nurse in case of symptoms flaring up or am I overthinking
