Ramipril and Furosemide - update!
Hi - I was diagnosed with heart failure on Monday. This understandably has knocked me for six! I'm 61 never taken any tablets for anything. Blood pressure is normal. I've been prescribed 2.5 mg of Ramipril which I've been told to take at night. Every morning I've been sick and today had the added joy

Furosemide dose
I have a.f. left ventricle heart failure. I take 80 gms of furusemide in the morning and 40gms afternoon. I'm fine one week then the next week my feet hurt and though not badly swollen they are a bit puffy. I don't feel as well as I was. My gut feeling is to take extra furusemide but I'm afraid of over

Can I give a little hope?
My partner was diagnosed with alcohol-related decompensated cirrhosis in October 2017 after having been rushed to A&E, vomiting blood and not being able to breathe due to severe ascites. The emergency doctor was so concerned about his prognosis that she asked that I contact his daughters to come to

This has left me with LSHF. I have been given 40mg furosemide and 5mg Amiloride the furosemide to be increased to 80mg if needed. Although this has improved the outcome I am still quite breathless. do I accept this or pursue things further? I have to return to my EP on 22nd of March or cancel if I

Significance of TSH
I was diagnosed in 03/17 with hyperthyroidism. I let symptoms go on for years and am paying the consequences. I developed a-fib, mitral valve regurgitation, congestive heart failure and severe osteoporosis. I think that my endocrinologist is good, but I usually see a nurse practitioner or physician's

Scared
Hi can anyone tell me if they are taking Amiodarone for AF. I see the side effects can be catastrophic, also taking verapamil, digoxin, furosemide and rivaroxaban. I am so scared to take the Amiodarone, I have asthma as well, can anyone help?

Breathlessness and fluid retention
My husband recently diagnosed with heart failure and on Bisoprolol, Furosemide and Doxazosin. I realise it’s important to check for fluid retention but other than check his ankles we’ve decided to weigh regularly a unsure how to know if it builds up around his middle. Could this make breathing worse?

DePrescribing Site Woes
I'm really, really sorry that so many are having trouble accessing the site I posted earlier on medicines to be wary of because of age, I am not a member of that site and have never had to "sign in" so I don't know what the difference is but in this post I'll try to send along some more accessible information

Just back from seeing Heartt Failure Nurse, she has started me on Entresto from Thursday Night need to get the Canardesartan out of the system first. This follows a few hours overnight in Hospital

heart failure after av node ablation
In November last year I had a pacemaker fitted and after 5 weeks had a AV node ablation. I am in persistent AF but intolerant of drugs. Last week I was diagnosed with left sided heart failure. I wrote to my EP at Stoke as I was concerned he is going to see me in clinic at the end of February to discuss

Urine test contained traces of blood
Just been for routine 6 month blood test with urine sample. First one since starting Warfarin. Was told that it’s being sent for further testing as traces of blood but that happens sometimes with Warfarin but checking for infection. Had blood tests last week due to starting Furosemide and that was fine
