Digestion issues - meds?
Hi all, I have a diagnosis for CHF secondary to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy back in July. Was put on all these pills which have halved the size of my ankles and overall make me feel like I’m - well, not dying anymore, which is great. But I’ve been experiencing some digestion issues (almost like

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

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.

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

why though?
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
