Does anyone else have swollen eyelids in the morning?
Hello lovely forum members, I have Hashimotos & (mild) TED. My eye dryness, grittiness & pain seem to have subsided (thankfully) but I’m waking up again with very swollen upper eyelids. I think I’ve read someone refer to them as ‘marshmallow eyes’- the swelling does look like a marshmallow! My recent

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

The first day i took it i was fine but the second night i felt really dizzy and my sinuses were

Cause and effect
Five times in the past five years I have had a horrible experience, the first of which led to my eventual diagnosis of AF, then HF and eventually DCM. I’m on the top dose of Entresto, 12.5 mg bisoprolol plus digoxin, atorvastatin, Apixaban, and furosemide. Two weeks ago I flew to Edinburgh for a Burns

another ablation
I went down with AF three years ago but due to a clot in my heart I could not get any treatment until 2019 when it had dissolved. I went with a pace and ablate on the advise of my EP but still suffered from breathlessness on exertion. I next had a PVI to try and alter this. Although my rate is perfect

Lungs
I have ALD and am currently on 50mg Spironolactone for ascites and 40mg Propanolol for varices. I keep getting slightly bubbly lungs when I lie down for a while and in the morning. Is this related to the ALD or entirely separate? Thanks. Wendy

Another drug?! What does this one do then?
I’ve a letter which was delivered yesterday about my fluid retention due to my heart & kidney problems. It’s evidenced by a slight oedema in my lower right leg. I’ve researched water tablets & challenged my heart failure nurse but they’ve now written to my GP about Frusemide. I checked with credible

Suggestions for reducing spironolactone and furosemide without having a rebound
Anyone with experience or tips for reducing and coming off of diuretics. I have read about and experienced a rebound effect of putting on water weight quickly. My labs are great and my liver seems fine after 7 months of no alcohol, healthy living and some herbs my doctor approved I could take. I

SPIRONOLACTONE
I used to take Furesemide which used to make me rather lightheaded and feeling tired. The consultant has changed this for Spironolactone 25 mg, it seems to be OK but I keep feeling very itchy on my Back and my arm. Cannot see any Rash though. I wonder if anyone has experienced this itchiness whilst

He is on Ramipril and Ivabradine and
