Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

My husband was diagnosed 2 days ago with Right side CHF and he has to take Lasix everyday in addition to his BP meds. Anyone else has been diagnosed with this? Thank you

I'm sorry you are dealing with CHF at such a young age. I'm 81 and was recently diagnosed with CHF. Have not asked what stage I am. The medical establishments could not figure out what was wrong with me for 1 1/2 years
since I had no medical issues at all prior to this. All my vitals were great , no diabetes or obesity, don't smoke or drink, blood pressure perfect, No blockage in my arteries , my lungs were good etc. Anyway I am on 80 mg latex and 20 mg potassium. I can't walk my legs swell up and I take Metoprolol for Afib which I had for 22 years. I was prescribed another pill which gave me Vertigo. Now I'm waiting for a new prescription possibly Jardiance. I feel like a Guiney pig.
Good Luck to both of us,

Did you have trouble walking prior to all the pills you are taking? Some doctors take you off everything and do a reset except for the metopropol.
