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

Good news
Morning all, Just wanted to share some good news 5 months post mitral valve repair. My latest echo showed an excellent result which is great news. So glad I went for it when I did and I feel very priveledged and lucky that the NHS were able to fix it so well. I'm now able to stop the bisoprolol and

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

Change from Furosemide to Bumetanide
I am on 80mg Furosemide in the morning and 20mg at lunch time (a quite large dose). I have recently been asked to stop the Furosemide and change to 1mg Bumetanide. Has anyone any experience of this medication they can share?

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

Kicked off List
Has anyone on here been kicked off the transplant list for not going to dialysis all the time??? I don't always make it due to different reasons like not feeling well, nauseous, diarrhea etc. Who wants to go sit in a chair for 4 hours when you don't feel good enough to get out of bed? My one kidney

Use of adjustable bed with cirrhosis and COPD
Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with alcohol related cirrhosis. Had a long conversation with my consultant last week and apparently I'm at stage A which is quite good to hear. I have a gastroscopy booked for 26th to check for varices and will be having a bone scan, vitamin check and tests to check

Water retention on holiday in Lanzarote
After manoeuvring my way through Travel Insurance/Special Assistance/hiring wheelchair as I have AF and heart failure. On the 2nd day I seized up completely with Sciatica and had to be wheeled to the nearest clinic to be left after 3 injections and £400 bill which was worth it Will try and claim some

Waiting for blood and ultrasound results, suspected cirrhosis and portal hypertension
Had bloods taken February and Ultrasound March and am awaiting results. I gave up alcohol in February which I haven't found too difficult. The sonographer told me quite a bit, apparently pancreas, kidneys, spleen and gall bladder seem to be okay. There is some scarring on my liver but he said he'd seen

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 long until your considered for a pacemaker
Hi guys I was just wondering what everyone's experience is of exhausting medication treatment until they go for the next phase of fitting pacemaker for heart failure?
