weight loss and heart meds
hey all. just wondering if anyone has managed to lose any weight being on a cocktail of heart medication. I eat well with the odd treat, I walk a fair bit and have 2 young children that keep me busy. I have tried different types of exercise but due to my heart I really struggle. I take bisoprolol

What happens next please?
Advice sought from those further on the path please. I had a successful cardio version in July after 6.5 months of high rate permanent AF not well controlled by digoxin, bisoprolol, furosemide, and apixaban. I was told to just stop the digoxin after the cardio version which left me on 10mg of bisoprolol

Tavi declined by Consultant, but medical records maybe incorrect!
I was first diagnosed with aortic stenosis in 2016, since then I’ve been on 20mg of Furosemide and one amiodarone 200mg. The cardiologist tells me I have a strong left ventricle function. I had an echo done, I’ve been told the valve is now more rigid and she mentions a TAVI procedure. My other illness

ENTRESTO 49/51 (+ Bisoprolol, Eplerenone, Aspirin, Simvastatin, Omeprazole, Dapagloflozin, Furosemide, Mexiletine).
My husband (79) has been on Entresto for nearly 2 years. Has no energy or strength and is tired most of the time with breathing problems after a very short walk in the garden. Hasn't seen cardiologist or had his EF checked since prescription issued. GP will not change any medication cos of heart problems

Carvedilol & Decompensated ARLD
Hubby saw his Hepatologist recently and she was very pleased that he has not had any alcohol for just over 13mths now. She has requested that his GP changes his medication? She has requested that he is taken off of: - Thiamine - Folic Acid - Rifaximin - Vitamin B String Compound - Furosemide

After Heart Surgery
I am 65 years old and had minimal invasive aortic valve replacement in April 21. They went in through the right side of my chest and the op was a success. I am having an ongoing problem of water retention which I am now finding quite worrying. The GP has given me Furosemide water tablets 20mg to take

Strange smell
Since I started on the drugs below, I seem to have a strange smell constantly in my nostrils. My wife says she can't smell anything. This strange chemical type smell is apparent in my pee too ( at least to me!) I'm due to see my HF nurse on Friday, but has anyone ever experienced this? I was diagnosed

Water tablets and Heatwave.
Part of my daily meds are the water tablets spironolactone 25mg and Furosemide 40mg, in this sweltering heatwave I wonder what others on similar meds are doing with regards to drinking plenty of fluids. :-)

Change from Furosemide to Bumetanide
I am on 80mg Furosemide in the morning and 20mg at lunch time (a quite large dose). I have recently been asked to stop the Furosemide and change to 1mg Bumetanide. Has anyone any experience of this medication they can share?
