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

Antihypertensive drugs & PCa-specific mortality
New study from Finland [1]. This topic has been raised before. "Antihypertensive drug use overall was associated with an increased risk of PCa-specific death (Pre-PCa: 1.21...). "With respect to the separate drug groups, angiotensin II type 1 receptor (ATr) blockers, were associated with improved survival

Open heart surgery medication and viagra
I had an AVR and double bypass on 26/02/2020 and, after an initial lung problem, am recovering well. Having consulted with my surgeon, GP and cardiac nurse, I am under the impression that viagra should not react adversely with the drugs I am on, but was advised to leave it for the first few months as

Some advice on meds
Hi all, My husband is two weeks post AVR Now and doing ok. Naturally very tired though and has good and bad days. I was wondering about his medication which he is on about 8 tablets. A few of them stop this weekend. One of the drugs is spironolactone, which we were just told it’s a potassium sparing

How do you feel daily since your diagnosis? Am I normal?
Back in Nov. of 2019 I had bad swelling in my abdomen so a friend took me to the ER. I was a daily beer drinker 8-12 a day for approximately 26 years. The last 7 of those years I was drinking Vodka and soda. They said I had problems with my liver and needed paracentesis, I stayed in the hospital for

Ramipril Medication Change
Hiya - update on my meds and general health. I had been taking my usual 5mg Bisoprolol 2.5 Ramipril 25mg Spirolactone and keeping in NSR now since December 11th 2019 however, I developed a kind of masky film over my throat - always constantly trying to clear my throat after eating food. Cardiac nurse

Inconsistent swelling
Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here. Please be easy on me! Anyway, I am a 40 year old girl with stage 4 cirrhosis. I really don't know how to wrap my head around it. I find myself feeling completely not believed or something? Did anyone else experience this? But, physically the most

Breathing and "funny feeling"
I have permanent AF and moderate HF with crt-p implanted. I take Bisoprolol, Digoxin, Rivaroxaban, Furosemide, Spironolactone, Candesartan. I tend to struggle to breath on exertion a lot of the time and sometimes when I am out of breath I have a funny sensation a bit like a hot flush going through

Naturally High Testosterone causes water retention?
I have had oily skin since I was a kid, I am now 38 years old. I have been having outbreaks of acne since I was young. I got my hormones tested today and my testosterone is very high, I am not taking supplements or any weird stuff. Could this explain my water retention? (its listed as a side effect

Spironolactone, side effects ?
Hi, not been here for a while. Am now diagnosed with Heart Failure Stage 2 after having 2 M.I. in 2012 & subsequent triple by pass surgery. Currently I have a great local Heart Failure team although not seen my cardiologist for over a year. My question is whether members have had side effects from Spironolactone
