Furosemide
Hi. Just wondering what doses of furosemide people are on for fluid retention (from heart failure). My mum has been increased to 120 mg per day as she has fluid in her chest/lungs. Seems an awful lot! Anyone else on this much and how are the side effects? Thanks in the meantime.

Meds & raised blood sugar
My 86 year old brother, who has heart failure, was found at a routine blood test to have raised blood sugar in the prediabetic range. In response to this, he received a standard letter from the practice with the website of diabetes UK to consult for info. He can't use the internet and I was concerned

I'm on bisoprolol (low dose),
furosemide

spironolactone
, aspirin and simvastatin (was on those before) and ticagrelor. Is it any of these, or is it all from the op (anaesthetic?)

toenails
in 71 years I have never had a problem with my feet but suddenly my toenails are becoming white and too thick to cut. Could this be my HF meds ( bisoprolol, spironolactone, astovastatin, Entresto, Clopidogrel and lanzoprazole) ?

Diuretics
Has anyone found a particular diuretic effective for swollen feet? when I first reported them to my GP, she prescribed Indapamide - which had a marginal effect. I was due to see my cardiologist a short while later, and told him what I was taking, he said 'No, that's the wrong one' and said I needed

Hashimotos - understanding latest blood test results - any advice for next steps?
Hi all, my partner (44F) has been struggling with hypothyroid / possible PCOS symptoms for ~18 months (thinning hair all over, some hirsutism and weight gain). She was diagnosed with Hashimotos in October 2022. We have been trying an approach to tackle both the thyroid issues and the hyperandrogenism

Heart rate monitor results - another update
We had our second private consultation today for mum. Mum had the Zio XT monitor for a week. She has permanent AF and HF and the past couple of months have been so difficult as mum hasn’t felt good pretty much every day. The consultant said mum’s average heart rate is around 80 bpm, but the monitor

which diuretic with prednisolone?
I posted a while ago about diuretics - thanks for the responses. Mum was put on furosemide which worked for the odema, but within a week had diarrhoea which meant it was stopped and we ended up with a bad uti with haemorrhage due to the diarrhoea…… It may have been the furosemide causing the diarrhoea

Updates on AF meds
Hello. Had appointment with AF specialist yesterday at Berks Cardiology. Everything went well. He explained everything in detail of my options, and basically said it's my choice to do whatever I wanted. I told him I wanted to exercise again at the gym, he said I could do whatever I wanted to do, but

With aggravated osteoporosis my partner has been offered the choice of monthly doses of Bonviva or a six monthly injection. Which would be most effective to mitigate the osteoporosis while remaining compatible with an AF/pacemaker regime that includes Amias, Sotalol, Furosemide, and Apixaban?.

Had appointment with cardiologist- update
We had appointment today with cardiologist which we booked privately. In my previous post I said I’d update on how it went. The cardiologist has decided that he will put a heart rate monitor on mum for a week, and see what’s going on. I explained the current anxiety symptoms were so frequent now, like

seeking more info with yet more questions
Hello. As I begin to write this it's 5:45 in the morning here. Trying to get at least some type of sleep. Still having loads of anxiety but trying to calm myself down to at least write this. Glancing over once in a while to check oxymeter, heart rate ranging from 92 to 104, oxygen steady at 96-97.

Insomnia
I see numerous posts about side effects from a variety of meds, I find it difficult to tell whether any of my problems are due to my meds without stopping them for a while, which I wouldn’t do without guidance from a medic, such as I had regarding Spironolactone. I am due to see my consultant some time
