Side effects of diuretics Part 2
Thank you for the helpful answers to my query of yesterday. I went to see the GP this morning. She said she'd never heard of extreme fatigue being a side effect of Furosemide. I showed her the leaflet which does indicate that 'tiredness, fever or generally feeling unwell' is one of the less common side

How to lose 5kg (11lb) in 24 hrs.
That is how much weight in body fluid that I have just lost virtually overnight due to a diarrhoea bug. This was followed by excruciatingly painful stomach gas ejections (or farting as the NHS Site calls it.) I honestly can't understand how the porcelain remained intact, I could swear that one blast

Side effects of diuretics
One of the main side effects I experience from Prednisolone is swollen feet and ankles. Last week during the very hot weather I couldn't even get on the old canvas gym shoes that I normally wear. My doctor sent me for a blood test to make sure my kidney functions are normal and then prescribed a diuretic

Furosemide
Morning all! Hope you’re all having a lovely Bank Holiday and enjoying the sunshine! Just a quick question, I’m on 80mg of Furosemide a day, 40mg in a morning then 40 on an afternoon, is this normal to have them staggered like that? I just find it a nightmare trying to a) remember to take the afternoon

Doctor unwilling to prescribe combined Pill
Hi, my daughter saw her doctor today to discuss the consultants recommendations and while it was agreed she could now take Metformin and Spironolactone the doctor refused to prescribe the combined pill because of her BMI level. He said that as it was over 30 he was not allowed to give it. He said she

Heart/kidneys
Happy Easter everyone. My husband is 63 & has at least moderate heart failure. He's recently been put on spironolactone (low doseage) & he's having regular blood tests for potassium & his kidneys. The tests are regularly showing readings of serum creatinine level (XE2q5) of between 106 to 117 umol/L.

Spironolactone
Has anyone had any problems with raised potassium levels due to spironolactone? My husband has heart failure & after being on spironolactone for 3 months over a year ago, he was taken off it due to high potassium levels. They're now trying it again, he's been on 1/2 tablet since January with the view

Update on Ejection Fraction
Update Just got a copy of the letter to my GP The Right Coronary Territory is Non Viable and he would therefore not benefit from PCI to the native RCA and I have explained the situation to him. ( which he did ) He does have Disease in his LAD which goes on to supply a large septal and diagonal territory

Water retention
I take 20 mg a day of Frusemide for fluid retention to be increased to 40 mg for 4 days if I am suffering badly. However, I find this extra dose doesn’t help a lot and when I start to really fill up with fluid, I usually suffer an Afib episode. Does anyone else suffer from this problem? Di
