  • urgent your tablets are killing you

    was at consultant week before last and was told the the tabs I was on was dangerous and effecting my health , my tabs was changed and told I needed a blood test within 2 weeks of been on them to make sure I wasn't in danger and all was safe , as the new tabs could have a worse effect then the other ones , well I went for the test yesterday only to find that the clinics due to cut backs are closed for a forthnight , that will be 4 weeks before the bloods can be taking and whatever date the the results will be ready , will I keep taking them or go back on the old ones , rang and rang the robot answering machine just keeps saying press 1 ect

    What a bloody dilemma Fitzy, I think I would just carry on taking the new ones until Monday then call the office of the guy who gave you them, it's bloody disgraceful the situation you are in. Is there no other place you could go to? Good luck my friend!

                        mkm what there for in a normal person is a minor think in my case what there for in combination with the rest of my tabs is a big issue , there only a water tablet but the effect on my main tabs have a major problam , one can take away to much sodium the other to much something else , I get so confused as what does what anymore

                          ok......hmmm...im on two meds to remove fluids..one specifically for the heart.....the other to remove excessive fluids and sodium.......the one specifically for the heart i had to be very careful taking it and always had to take potassium with it....a banana didnt cut it....other than that it did affect the liver.....heres what to do...get the name of the med...and google it....see what the side effects are and if you are having big side effects look and see what the half life of the med is....if its a low half life, id cut the med in half.....and take half the dose for 3-4 days....and that should keep the med in your system..but give you some relief until you get to see your dr ....and see him asap.......

                            the med i take for fluid around the heart...is....teva-spironolactone 23mg and i just take HALF a pill....but with this i have to take a potassium drink as i mentioned...the other med is apo-furosemide and that i take either one to three pills a day depending on the amount of sodium build up i get...and i can actually figure it out by what i eat..... a fish and chip dinner will mean i take 3 pills. lol
