Hi Everyone,-
I don't know if this is the right group but I was just diagnosed with CHF. I was in the hospital for 4 days and am having the same symptoms but milder. I am on Lasix 4 mg and have already put on a half pound. I have Sjogrens and need to drink a lot of water but was told to limit it to 64oz. I am unable to have anything with artificial sugar as it makes me sick and gives me a headache so I sip water all day. 64 oz goes fast since I have to count an orange as 8 oz, I am monitoring my sodium and don't understand why I have put on weight. If I put on 5 lbs, I need to go back to the hospital- I really don't want to do that. They said to exercise but I am weak and short of breath when I do anything. Part of my heart has calcified, but they don't seem as concerned as I am. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
