Spironolactone opinions
Just wondering your opinions on Spironolactone. I think this may be the drug my mum is taking along side Apixaban which is causing some of the worse problems. Any advice and personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

AF advice...I'm new here.
Hello, i have been checking out this website for a month now after my Mum was diagnosed with AF after a GP check up. She went to the doctors and knew her heart was jumping.

Aching heart for a week now.
Hi, I'm new to this site so I will give a small insight into my heart condition. I was born with TOF (Tetralogy of Fallots). Unfortunately I was one of the old generation to have this so I've had further complications. I had my original repair in 1982 then in 1992 I had my first pulmonary valve replacement

Is Amiloride an effective alternative to Spironolactone in treatment of Ascites from liver disease
Hello All, I have been taking Bumetanide (1 mg daily) and Spironolactone which is a potassium conserving diuretic (200 mg daily) for cica 2 years and this is to control ascites that has resulted from my AIH and Cirrhosis. It works reasonably well although ascitic fluid still continues to accumulate

Furosemide and Spironolactone
Male 57 with HCM. After a AF episode in September 2015 I went through a range of tests that highlighted HCM. I'm awaiting implantation of a ICD and have been prescribed Furosemide (40mg) and Spironolactone (25mg) as diuretics. They seam to do the job but the side effects are quite debilitating. I'm

Dehydrated and tired all the time...
Hi I've been living with cirrhosis for around two and half years now and at the moment seem stable, scoring 7 on child push so just inside criteria for transplant but no need just yet. But I'm constantly feeling dehydrated and even after a good night's sleep (or so I think) I wake up feeling completely

Spironolactone Warning.
I thought this would be of interest to some of you. Owing to excessive fluid retention I was put on Spironolactone 25mg in September whilst in hospital, it seems this drug works alongside Furosemide to get rid of fluid. It went fine until early December, I started with tenderness in my Pectoral Muscles

Medication shortfall before appointment
My husband is seeing the cardiologist on Friday afternoon. However, all his medication that he was given on leaving hospital a month ago (Bisopralol, Apixaban, Digoxin, Spironolactone, Ramipril) all run out on Thursday morning. Does it matter that much for a few hours, assuming we will be able to get

The 40 ton truck that is AF!
Went to see my GP on Thursday and feel like I have been hit by a truck. I am still spread eagled on the front clinging on for dear life! Didn't really have much chance to ask questions as I was shocked. The results of a recent ECG show a rate of between 100 - 175, so the slozem has not been working.

Spironolactone and Gynaecomastia in men.
Are there any male contributors that have taken the potassium sparing diuretic Spironolactone for their liver disease and as a consequence suffered as a side effect very sore as well as developing breasts or as is often described 'male boobs' ? I have been taking this medication for several months and

Hi, anyone else here with a diagnosis of Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia of Liver?
It would be good to hear from anyone else who is living with this condition. My partner was diagnosed after a massive bleed at home from oesophageal varices (that he was unaware he had!) 5 years ago. On admission to the emergency dept. of hospital, the blood loss and trauma to his body was so great that
