Does Anyone Retain Fluid From Heart Failure Meds And The Diuretic Doesn’t Help Or Makes You Feel Sick? I Feel Like I Am Going In A Circle
I take 60mg Lasik 2 x daily and then spironolactone 25mg 1 x daily and metolazone 2.5 mg 1 every 3-4 days. And I do watch my sodium intake. That maintains me well, but it's a lot of pills.

Do you have problems with weight gain?
Since I've been on it, I have gained about 20 pounds. Part of it I'm sure is actual weight from not exercising and not eating right.- too many calories in, and too few cal. going out. Water weight. I'm on lasix 20 mg once a day, bit find it hard to know when I can take it because I drive bus for 9.5 hrs a day. Don't know if I'll be able to have potty break when the urge hits, so don't take it as often as supposed to.
Any thoughts
