Fed up with Hypertension
I have lived with what's known as essential Hypertension for 29 years. I have had lots of investigations medically but to no avail, I appear to just have it genetically. What's always worried me is that despite being on a raft of medication my blood pressure only goes down an hr after I've taken said

Bumetanide in combination with Furosemide?
My husband was on Furosemide with Spironlactone but swelling in legs not improving, on a phone call the Cardiologist changed the prescription to Bumetanide. That didn’t improve it, GP then reduced the Bumetanide and we thought he said to add Spironlactone back in, but no prescription came so we checked

Swollen legs and ankles
My legs and ankles have been swollen for a few months now and are getting worse. The skin is very red and shiny . They are more swollen during the day but more painful at night. I know this hot weather doesn’t help but I am getting so fed up. I have mentioned this to my GP and he has increased my Furosemide

COPD, Oedema & Heart
Hoping someone with similar problem can help please. For the last 2months I've developed Oedema, I had ECG on Thursday to see if it were heart related to be told by Dr everything looked normal. I'm wondering if it could be due to me taking Mirtazapine for the same length of time. My left leg is swollen

How do I deal with swollen legs and water retention?
WATER RETENTION IN MY LEGS I have been prescribed a medication called furosemide. I notice that one of the side effects listed is 'loss of hearing'. I have already lost most of the hearing in my left ear and dare not risk losing right ear hearing. Can anyone give me any info on this? Is there another

Ramipril and Furosemide and RLS
I was just wondering if anyone else is prescribed these medications? I was retaining a lot of water last year and my blood pressure was through the roof at times and now I take Furosemide 40mg for the water retention and Ramipril 2.5 caps for my blood pressure. I don’t know how long I’ll be on this

Swollen legs and ankles
Some time ago I wrote about the burning sensation in my ankles and feet at night. I thought it may be due to Bisoprolol 10mg. The consultant changed my medication to Dilthiazem but the pain has now spread to my knees and inner thighs. Also my legs and ankles are very swollen ant the skin is very red

Frusemide tablets
Hi, Can you take frusemide tablets at any time of day. Hubby always takes them in a morning but the afternoon would be a lot better. Thanks

How can I make my telephone appointment really effective?
At the beginning of March I was taken into hospital with a suspected heart attack. Four days later I was discharged with a diagnosis of unstable angina. The hospital was so busy that I never got to the cardiology ward, but was moved around to wherever there was a spare bed. So I never came into regular

Is LVSD heart failure
Hello all, I was recently diagnosed with mild LVSD after spending a day in hospital with low O2 sats. I have been prescribed Furosemide and have an appointment with my GP on 25th other than that I have been told nothing. I did the usual mistake of looking at doctor internet and all I see is heart failure
