Get on Spirolactone, possibly Hydrochlorothyozide, Farxiga, plenty of fruits and vegetables. Stay hydrated with pure water with a little fresh lemon.

But so many fruits and veggies (including citrus, I thought?) are discouraged while on Spironolactone because of high potassium content! I'm still struggling to find out what I can eat!

I just googled Farxiga and found this, which means it wouldn't apply to someone with preserved ejection (me):The Food and Drug Administration has accepted a supplemental New Drug Application and granted Priority Review for dapagliflozin (Farxiga) for the reduction of risk of cardiovascular death or worsening of heart failure in adult patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

I was told this week that I had to monitor my fluid intake to not over one liter a day. So it seems like a never ending battle. Laxiz doesn’t work if you don’t have enough fluids to flush it through your body. Was instructed to take 120 msg. I did and didn’t urinate for 18 hours.
Think my body is shutting down. Fluid gain is over 6 lbs per day.
