Insomnia
I see numerous posts about side effects from a variety of meds, I find it difficult to tell whether any of my problems are due to my meds without stopping them for a while, which I wouldn’t do without guidance from a medic, such as I had regarding Spironolactone. I am due to see my consultant some time

Add Lanzaprole - a medication taken to combat excessive acid damage to the lining of the stomach, then add Spironolactone, used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure in the form of a water tablet and finally Furosemide, yet another "water tablet" bringing up the rear of this modest collection

Impaired Right Ventricular function – experiences please
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with a large hole in my heart last December, at which point my right heart was stretched out of shape. It was a massive shock as I had no symptoms. The doctor who gave me the diagnosis said that once I had the hole closed, hopefully the heart would return to normal. Fast

High number of medications
I take 14 medications for heart failure, diabetes 2, GCA, High blood pressure, COPD and a CRT-D fitted. Yet I feel worn out and depressed. My legs are weak and losing muscle tone, my blood pressure crashes when I take my medication.I hardly go out now. Each department has this competition to change or

Blood pressure……need advice.
I have Heart failure and take Carvedilol, Dapagliflozin, Entresto (replaced Ramipril) and Spironolactone. Consequently my bp has dropped very low as required. (102/70) Yesterday and today it has gone up to Around 126/ 80 + Why would that happen ? On same doses and not doing anything differently

Hypo type episode on Dapaglaflozin/Forxiga, and Spironolactone, while waiting for a pacemaker upgrade. Advice anyone?
I felt sweaty and shaky after skipping breakfast this morning, and looking at the leaflet for Dapaglaflozin, I see one of the side effects is to cause low blood sugar levels. It's a diabetes drug which has been found to help with Heart Failure patients. It makes you pee away blood sugar. So I ate some

Ascites Long Term
Hello All, I've had Ascites now for eighteen months. At first I confused the symptoms with a hernia that I had which has since been repaired. After a visit to my GP, he told me I had IBS and gave me some pills to alleviate that. Two weeks later I was back at the GP's. This time he examined me and said

compensated question
Saw one of my consultants doctors last week who felt on examination that ascities was gone. I asked him does that mean I’m compensated and he said I could be. He sent me for an ultrasound and the results were good apart from the usual cirrhosis scarring and gallstones. Trace fluid also which he said

Spironolactone alternative:Private Sector
I have had to come off Spironolactone (adverse intestinal effects). I am also allergic to the only alternative under the NHS (Eplerenone). Has anyone ever gone Private and been prescribed a better alternative?

Hi Taar
A couple of years ago when I was particularly unwell, my 1st paracentesis was scary, a bit unknown. The pain reducing injection was was a sharp sting, but nothing worse. Insertion of the the drain tube felt "uncomfortable" but nothing worse. During the drain over several hours they also replenished

Spironolactone and my bottom.
Having real problems taking Spironolactone. Life is good for about 4 hours after taking the tablet and then my colon empties in a spectacular fashion. I am now trying it after food and see what happens. Anyone else had this joy in their lives?

Hair loss due to meds?
Hello everyone. Just wondered if anyone else has suffered hair loss due to heart meds? I’m on bisoprol, Spironolactone, dapagliflozine and ramipril and have noticed recently that my hair seems to come out easier than it used to. I know you lose so many hairs a day and age can be a factor (I’m nearly

How much Spironolactone are you on daily?
I was fine on 50mg last year. Fluid came back twice this year but cleared after a week at 100mg. So it was agreed I could increase it temporarily at home. But this doesn’t seem to be working this time. Other treatments seem very limited. What has worked for you when this happens? Is anyone on a higher
