Digestion issues - meds?

does an rls friendly diuretic exist?
I have bad swollen legs which my GP thinks is caused by excess fluid It probably comes from a combination of my RLS medicines ( Pregabalin 250 mg and 2mg Neupro patch) plus a recent knee replacement operation. To get rid of this excess fluid my GP upped my normal 50mg Spironolactone dose to 75 mg.

Alternative to Spironolactone
I have been on Spironolactone for 6 months +. It has made a big difference to my heart failure symptoms. Unfortunately, the drug is causing pain in my breast tissue and I may have to come off it. Can anyone recommend an alternative to Spironolactone either NHS or Private.

PCOS Hair Loss
My daughter has been diagnosed with PCOS and takes Spironolactone and Yacdlla (combined pill). She had to stop Metformin as it didn’t agree with her. we have noticed that when she has 7 days of off Yacdlla she sheds more hair. I know that if you permanently stop the pill you get shedding but we didn

Nausea after valve replacement and bypass
Had my mitral valve replaced and a bypass 4 weeks ago now, and have been home 3 weeks. Suffered nausea and lack of appetite from day 1 out of surgery, and aches and pains until this weekend - miraculously they all seem to have gone away. However the nausea seems to actually be getting worse, took me

so, I started with an EF of 30 and now, a year later, it is 60 ( on Entresto highest dose, Bisoprolol, Lanzoprozole, Atrovastatin, Spironolactone, Clopidogrel ) but I went swimming yesterday (20 slow lengths) then couldn’t get up for my ballet lesson this morning. Surely, with a near normal EF, I should

Mirtazapine
Hi I've been prescribed mirtazapine for heart related anxiety. Have any of you taken it and put on weight? I'm definitely not eating more than usual but am putting on weight at a ridiculous rate. I'm trying to keep weight stable but it's proving difficult. I don't think it's water retention I

Hi all, it 3 weeks since I came off Spironolactone as my liver specialist asked me to do so as after 6 month checks they believed my results showed I was in a good enough place to do so. I’ve gained 8 pounds in 3 weeks which from what I can see online isn’t classed as rapid but the last few days I’ve

CRT pacemaker
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I've been diagnosed with LBBB and am due to have a CRT pacemaker in the next few weeks (hopefully). I had no symptoms and it was only diagnosed following a pre-op assessment for a hip replacement I should have had in February - now postponed until the heart is stable
