Spironolactone Side Effects
A couple days ago there was a discussion about severe leg swelling due to heart failure. Several of you mentioned better results with Spironolactone than you had with Lasix. I plan to talk to my Dr about it. But can those of you using Spironolactone please let me know about any side effects or problems

Hi there, a little follow up from my last post, si my bloods came back normal and the receptionist said my Dr didn't want any follow up after my us scan so she said it's probably normal , should I book an appointment with the Dr to discuss this?

Spironolactone
I was recently in hospital in Cyprus with pneumonia. Whilst there it was discovered that I had dangerously low potassium levels. That was dealt with and I lost 6 kgs of fluid in 5 days. On discharge I was told to stop taking Bumetanide, which I had been on for 11 years and go onto Spironolactone. It

My partner's story
Hello to everyone, I've been a silent member of this group for a few weeks and I have found your posts really helpful. I have decided that now is the time to share with you the story so far with my partner and his diagnosis of alcohol related liver disease. He's 43 years old and he's been a daily drinker

Should I ask for spironolactone
I've been on a cocktail of HT meds for decades and my BP is still higher than it should be. I also have trouble with low potassium and a strong family history of stroke and early death. I'm wondering if I should ask my gp to change my meds to spironolactone. Does anyone have any experience of this please

My hands vary throughout the day and sometimes
