Bisoprolol Side Effects
Mine initially was due to
Dilated
Cardiomyopathy
/Heart Failure which did improve obviously because of the medication. The Left Bundle Branch Block disappeared, but it's been with me since August last year and I don't want to be in this rhythm.

Help required - symptoms + fiberscan advised?
Hi everyone I'm new to this group and have been checking your posts, which have already been immensely helpful! I'd like to ask for your opinion on this: I'm 30 years old and have been having pale stools for the past year or so . More recently I started getting a lot of dizziness, weakness and palpitations

Very low salt intake may be as bad as high levels, international study claims.
Is it really a case of everything in moderation or is no salt added to anything as my husband, who has
dilated
cardiomyopathy
, was told, still the way to go?

Spironolactone - Sore Nipples
About 5 weeks ago I was prescribed Spironolactone to help with my Edema, it worked very well but I now have extremely tender nipples that seem to have a solid mass behind them. Has anyone else had this reaction? Did stopping the Spironolactone solve it?

Spironolactone withdrawal?
Hi all, I was stage 4 cirrhosis with ascites, and took the diuretic spiro for over 12 months, which (along with alcohol abstinence) got me to re-compensated stage 2 with no ascites. Since then I have tapered the spiro, and 2 weeks ago quit completely. So far, thankfully I have not had any rebound gaining

Some questions/discussion topics on fatty liver
Hi, Was advised I had a fatty liver at the end of 2018 (likely from alcohol, but see one of q’s Below). 1. Alcoholic fatty liver vs non alcoholic, is this more the treatment for it as opposed to two different diseases? I.e, neither are medically distinguishable? How are people who eat badly, don’t exercise

Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) Advice for Newbie
Hi there, this is my first post, so hope someone can help. Last November I was diagnosed with HE and prescribed Rifaximin. Ammonia level was 185, which I'm told is very high but nothing to compare against. My care was also transferred from my local hospital to the nearest Transplant Centre. At my last

Competing Diets
During the various tests undertaken, it was discovered that I had
dilated
cardiomyopathy
. To be honest, Unless the doctors had told me, I would never have known. In essence, my heart is apparently working at around 30%.

The importance of eating
Hello all. I was hoping you could comment and talk about how important an eating schedule is for people with cirrhosis. My fiancé doesn’t think it’s important, no matter what I say. I want him to understand the importance of this as he had muscle wasting when he was diagnosed in December. He has an appetite

Fatty liver (I'm new here)
Hello All Hope you all are fine and well, as like good members, I also want to discuss about my health Last two weeks I did Ultrasound in which fatty liver becomes minimal to moderate, minimal is about one year ago. My sonologist recommends me to do fibroscan. After that, my fibroscan result is as CAP

Newly diagnosed cardiomyopathy
Hi everyone, I am 35 and have recently been diagnosed with
dilated
cardiomyopathy
. I still need to have an mri done. Prior to this I had svt and have had 2 heart ablations they think it’s the svt that’s caused the heart failure. Apparently my hearts fraction is 22/25 % enlarged and leaking valves.
