Spironolactone.
I have been taking Spironolactone for one week, 25mg daily, which isn’t a very high dosage. Already I seem to be experiencing some side effects, tickly throat, severe bloating etc. Has anyone else noticed any side effects. Thank you. PhylK.

Heart Failure diagnosis.
I am an 80 year old female with a history of Atrial Fibrillation. I have had 3 Ablations and am now on rate control drugs which keep me quite comfortable. Recently my breathing became a problem and I am getting generalised weakness . I really do expect this at my grand age but I do like to drive and

toenails
in 71 years I have never had a problem with my feet but suddenly my toenails are becoming white and too thick to cut. Could this be my HF meds ( bisoprolol, spironolactone, astovastatin, Entresto, Clopidogrel and lanzoprazole) ?

Diuretics
Has anyone found a particular diuretic effective for swollen feet? when I first reported them to my GP, she prescribed Indapamide - which had a marginal effect. I was due to see my cardiologist a short while later, and told him what I was taking, he said 'No, that's the wrong one' and said I needed

Hashimotos - understanding latest blood test results - any advice for next steps?
Hi all, my partner (44F) has been struggling with hypothyroid / possible PCOS symptoms for ~18 months (thinning hair all over, some hirsutism and weight gain). She was diagnosed with Hashimotos in October 2022. We have been trying an approach to tackle both the thyroid issues and the hyperandrogenism

Hey all, mums chirosis continues to cause us fun each day. I’m now pretty much at the stage of forcing her to eat little and often as she is never hungry, and is never thirsty despite all of her lips cracking and her tounge swelling. When she drinks, it’s as though she is trying to swallow knives or

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

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
