Fluid in my lungs and heart slightly enlarged
I have completed two courses of FCR but have been becoming quite breathless and with tightness in the lower neck/upper chest area. My consultant arranged for a chest x-ray which shows I have a little fluid in my lungs and a marginally enlarged heart. Could this have been caused by the FCR drugs or

Should fluid intake be limited when acities is present?
Hi, my husband has cirrhosis & is waiting to be assessed for a transplant. He has acities which he feels is getting worse. He's on spirolactone 100mga daily. I have been encouraging 1 1/2 -2 litres a day but am worried this might be making the acities worse?! Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank

OUr niece aged 13 is currently on methotrexate, prednisone as well as frusemide, ramipril now stopped, omeprazole. On the outside she is positive but very tired a lot of the time. On the inside, is another story. She first went into hospital last April and it is nearly a year since she started treatment

Have been told that Ramipril can cause AF. I take 10mg along with Bisoprolol 7mg, digoxin 250mg and furosemide 40mg,warfarin
for high bp and AF which has become persistent since November when I had bronchitis and then pleural effusion. Does anyone take this same concoction or know more about Ramipril.

Spironolactone and Gynaecomastia in men.
Are there any male contributors that have taken the potassium sparing diuretic Spironolactone for their liver disease and as a consequence suffered as a side effect very sore as well as developing breasts or as is often described 'male boobs' ? I have been taking this medication for several months and

Is anyone with cirrhosis (due to PBC) on diuretics (Spironolactone & Furosemide) for treatment of ascites?
If so, does it wake you up multiple times during the night to go to the toilette. How are you handling the sleep deprivation? Your experience, advice, opinions are very much appreciated. Many thanks!

Speedy meds
Went to the GP yesterday for an X-ray result. It showed some possible excess fluid on the lungs and a possible enlargement of my heart. I've also been putting on weight faster than a sumo wrestler and my ankles and feet have been swelling too. He immediately arranged a blood test with a follow-up

So much medication.
I have been taking Dabigatran 150mg once a day for about eight weeks and it seems to suit me a lot better than warfarin but from what I have read lately it seems that I should be taking it twice daily. Is it possibly that because of other medication, ( Candesartan 32mg - Bisoprolol 2.5mg - Furosemide

Just back from seeing GP regarding my breathlessness
Managed to see GP this morning as been breathless for past 4 weeks. She had given me 7 day course of Prednisolone which I finished last weekend and it did no good at all. At that time she didn't think there was infection so no antibiotics. Today she sounded my chest and said she heard crackle and

I have had a problem with swollen feet for several weeks now for which I am taking furosemide, this keeps it under control
to a certain extent. I have noticed that I have decreased sensation below knees in both legs, I feel as though I am wearing knee high socks. I also suffer from cramp & itching in the feet. I presume this is caused through WG but does it also mean there is some nerve damage.
