Medications causing mouth ulcers?
Hi there, I’m on 9 different medications: Dapagliflozin, Bisopropolol, Aspirin, Clopidogrel, spironolactone, warfarin, atorvostatin, lanzrapole and ramipril and I’ve been taking them since late April following a HA. I’ve felt generally well apart from fatigue but in the last 6-8 weeks have developed

Cirrhosis/Sprionolactone/testosterone
I know. Bit of an odd one!!! Hi all! I’d just be interested to know if anyone has had any (male) hormone issues surrounding cirrhosis and/or the use of Spironolactone. Or perhaps it’s just me?! About a month before diagnosis, (I couldn’t see them because of my swollen belly), It felt like my testicles

Can Methylprednisolone affect Ascites?
I am currently on 100mg spironolactone and 40mg furosemide daily to help my Ascites. Recently I hurt my back running and was prescribed a 4mg/day methylprednisolone dose pack to help with the injury. I began taking the steroid last Tuesday evening, and by Wednesday afternoon to my pleasure noticed

Strange smell
Since I started on the drugs below, I seem to have a strange smell constantly in my nostrils. My wife says she can't smell anything. This strange chemical type smell is apparent in my pee too ( at least to me!) I'm due to see my HF nurse on Friday, but has anyone ever experienced this? I was diagnosed

downhearted 😂
I am feeling really downhearted (excuse the pun) I was diagnosed with heart failure in March after going into hospital with vertigo. I am 69 and have always walked the dog every day, exercised every day (Pilates, yoga, running, swimming, ballet, tap) and was a trapeze artist betweeen the ages of 50 and

spironolactone for gas diffusion
just want to know if spironolactone can help with gas diffusion from the lungs to the blood supply. it has worked quite well on my blood pressure. But it was a recommendation to improve exercise tolerance as well. Just wondering if this has helped others.

Starting Entresto with Low Blood-Pressure
Hi all - My Dad (88) has recently been diagnosed with Heart Failure (HF) with an Ejection Fraction of 15-20% (so reasonably severe). He also generally has low BP (c.95-105/50-55). He's coped with the first-diagnosed diuretics (Furosemide (now stopped), Spironolactone and Dapagflozin) , but is now struggling

Water tablets and Heatwave.
Part of my daily meds are the water tablets spironolactone 25mg and Furosemide 40mg, in this sweltering heatwave I wonder what others on similar meds are doing with regards to drinking plenty of fluids. :-)

Now taking spironolactone
Well hear we go. Now going to take spironolactone on top of lisinopril. This journey is not fun. Having been diagnosed with epstein anomaly. Which I have had from birth. But it is now becoming one of the worst periods of my life. This is becoming a constant worry and I just worry about the effects of

Cirrhosis again
Hi everyone, I’m just a bit worried about my liver. I had a transplant 4 years ago and all was well until recently. I have ascites again. Spironolactone isn’t working for me. Does my replacement liver now have cirrhosis like my own did? How has that happened? Any ideas anyone? Naturally my GP and the

Side effects of Spironolactone
Hi my cardiologist has just prescribed me Spironolactone. He says it’s another way of protecting my heart. Has anyone had any experience of this medication? Especially aimed at males as the side effects are male boob growth.

Baffled
I have pulled back from level 4 cirrhosis with ascites and jaundice as well as two bad bleeds and was doing well. I then developed a pregnant stomach again ( I'm 60) drumlike, tight, uncomfortable so I assumed ascites and resumed spironolactone. No effect. Had a US scan on Monday- no fluid found! Has

Acute kidney failure
As if heart failure was not enough my non existent GP sent me a very brief letter informing me that I now have acute kidney failure which may be “age related” ! Oh yea, nothing to do with the furosemide and Spirolactone I am on then. No request to see me to discuss as they have a Fort Knox policy and

high potassium levels/hyperkamedia
Hi all has anyone experienced high potassium levels, a condition they call hyperkamedia. I have cirrhosis and I was waiting for the results of my latest LFT. My consultant phoned and said that, while most of my results were stable, my potassium level was dangerously high at 6. They stopped my spironolactone

How often are meds reviewed by GP or Cardiologist.
I have been on the same medication since Feb 2020, never the doses or my case reviewed with the exception of an appointment with a Cardiologist in July 2020. Dealing with my GP surgery and getting any response from them is hard work, however and before contacting them I wanted to check with others how
