Losartan and angioedema
Hi, am a 74 year old woman with heart failure. Was originally on perindopril, bisoprolol and spironolactone. Over a year ago perindopril was swapped for losartan 25mgs due to persistent lip swelling. Still had over 30 episodes of lip and tongue swelling since. This March it got worse with 2 episodes

Carvedilol
I have cirrhosis and the ongoing stuff with it. I was on Omeprazole and Spironolactone. Told I was on it for life. No problem. But after a recent gastroscopy I was put on Carvedilol. I had dreadful side effects. Plummeting blood pressure and no appetite. I have barely eaten for over a week. I have spoken

Heart Failure
A short background: I had a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve repair 18 months ago. I made a good recovery however at the 6 month follow up I was told that the repair wasn’t 100% and I still had a slight leak. Since last September I’ve been getting more breathless again so I saw GP who did tests and then

Spironolactone
Hello, HF nurse wants me to go on Spironolactone, I have been reading up on this drug, the side effects for men look awful, any males had problems with the side effects?

What should we ask at hospital?
Happy new year to you all. I wonder if you can help. As previously posted my partner has decompensated cirrhosis, portal hypertension, enlarged spleen and has now developed ascites. He's been laid up for about 8 weeks with no improvement. He can't sit up to eat and lays in bed all the time. He can make

Restless leg relief ideas
Hi, I am 30 and very active. I wondered if anyone can give me any tips. I had restless leg on and off in the past but recently it’s been every evening and it’s preventing me going to sleep. I’m not sure if upping the dose of spirolactone for my skin has worsened it (50mg-100mg) which happened in the

Feeling a little lost.
I’m new to AF and could really do with a bit of support. I had been unwell for some time. Struggled all year to lose weight but zilch came off. I was getting bigger. End of November I was admitted to A&E unable to breath when lying down and was panting. (Had been getting breathless when walking) Pulse

Good ECG results!
A few months ago I was more breathless and felt I had gone back to how I was when originally diagnosed with heart failure even to sleeping sitting up in bed and needing oxygen. I was so disappointed and heart failure nurses concerned. They have tweaked my meds again so increased diuretics by .5 mg

Thyroiditis, insulin resistant PCOS, menopause, High BP
Hi - Not entirely sure where to post this given the list of above diagnoses I have just been saddled with. Saw a private Endo, who was amazing, and has said I have all of the above. He's put me on propranolol (beta blocker) for the Thyroid and high blood pressure (180/150), metformin for the insulin

Poor Left Ventricle Performance
I have poor left ventricle performance with the usual issues (breathlessness, dizziness etc). I have been tried on Spironolactone and Eplerenone but after a short period of success my body became allergic to them and I had to stop. As I understand it These are the only two drugs that enhance left ventricle

How do you cope with meds when you have heart and kidney failure?
3 weeks ago I felt I was doing quite well and stable but in an effort to give my kidneys a chance hf nurses halved my dose of Spironolactone. The result was the return of breathlessness. I was back to sleeping in my chair and feeling so disappointed. Night times are always the worst. Friday I phoned

Gynaecomastia (man boobs)
Do any of you men have this condition? I've read that liver disease can cause this (imbalance of testosterone and oestrogen) but it can also be a side effect of Spironolactone diuretic medication. I have cirrhosis and also take Spironolactone for pitting oedema in my lower legs and feet (the medication
