Recently diagnosed with heart failure - swollen feet - any tips?
Recently diagnosed with heart failure and looking to speak to others with the condition. Doctor prescribed Furosemide for water in legs and feet. Been on it now 2 months nearly. Is a bit better but ankles, feet still swollen. Can anybody advise on how to further reduce the fluid in my feet? Many thanks

How long have I got, and can I change it?
So, I was originally diagnosed with Hep C back in 2010 following stabbing myself with a dirty needle when I worked for the NHS, and was later diagnosed with cirrhosis a few years later. Enetually put on the list for transplant, I was taken off the transplant list in July 2019, due to an MRI finding

Does heart failure make you hypersensitive to smell
Dear Community, I was diagnosed with dilated left ventricle with severely impaired systolic function and EF of 25%. I used to be active with daily walks in the park but now suffer from exertional breathlessness on simple tasks like walking up a flight of stairs. Furosemide, Carvedilol, Candersartan were

Advice please...
My 87 year old dad has been in AandE 3 times over the last week with oedema that comes on at night with delerium linked to heart failure. But seems to be no improvement when he comes out of Aand E They've taken him off furosemide and put in a urinary catheter. His bloods and urine come back as unremarkable

Weight loss and heart failure
I am starting to think it may have something to do with the meds I am taking( bisoprolol, amlodipime, ramipril,
furosemide
and
spironolactone
). I have been taking these meds since 2016 and never had similar weight loss problems before.

Failed too reduce my frusemide
My HF nurse advised me to reduce my fruesmide from 40mg BD to 40mg OD, it was only 24 hrs before I got breathlessness and then air hunger. So I lncreased it back to twice a day. What experience have you all had in reducing medications? They are doing it so they can increase my Ramipril, but my BP is

Pace and Ablate for Persistent A fib - Your Experiences?
Hi Whilst in hospital over Christmas, it was decided upon a pace and ablate for my a fib which is now persistent and has given me cardiac decompensation. However, there was a U turn and the consultants decided to try me on further drugs and give them a bit of time first. I was discharged on 10 mg bisoprolol

Q’s after AVR through OHS 6 days ago
Ok so second day home after AVR via OHS on Monday. I have a couple of questions. I’m still pretty knackered all the time and keep falling asleep but guess that is just the body’s way of telling you to take it easy. I feel like I have stitch a lot of the time. Worse when sitting down. Has anyone

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

Finally home-Happy New Year to you all
Finally got out late evening yesterday and very relieved to be home. Plenty of rest today although my blood pressure keeps dropping low. I hate these drugs but am hoping my body adapts. I have normal blood pressure without drugs so they were worried in controlling my rate, it may drop too low. Currently

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

New Nephrotic Syndrome. A nurse who used to work in Renal medicine how ironic. Preliminary diagnosis of Minimal Change Disease
Home from hospital with added Covid but hopefully only minor symptoms to add to the mix. On Prednisone 40mgs Frusemide Atoravastatin Ramipril Calcium Omeprazole. Does anyone else get awful leg pains. Prescribed Gabapentin at night which helps & codeine in the day. Waiting for last in-depth analysis

A rash when taking Furosemide
Hi has anyone had a reaction to Furosemide? I have a itchy rash with hives all over my body since I’ve started to take them. It’s the only new medication I’ve had & no change in food, soap powder etc.

Oh ok, I admit it - not doing all that well the now
So please excuse in advance what will look like a lack of response here, and very short posts elsewhere on the forum. Short although not sweet - I'm fighting off another acute flare of my recurrent pericarditis and am being shoehorned in for an echo tomorrow to check for increased pericardial effusion
