Did tou get numbness on right side like arm and shoulder or anything
I used to be on losartan they move me to Avapro two pills because losartan for years I was on that and it stopped working. The swelling in my legs and feet are unbelievable Lasix helps however it depleted my sodium consequently Landing me in the hospital and I needed to have sodium because all my electrolytes were off I sodium went down the 119 which is dangerous they finally released me when it came up to 127. I'm hoping this will turn around someday I don't want to see my blood pressure today my heart was pounding this morning I'm also taking sodium bicarbonate because now I'm getting very gassy and acidity. Like right now I have stomach pains I took my 20 mg lasix today I didn't yesterday. Doctor recommended every other day at this point plus I'm on fluid restriction since I can't get rid of the fluid. I see him tomorrow I was supposed to increase my CellCept to 1500 twice a day at night I take some Ativan to sleep otherwise you end up instead of taking the whole when I took a half because I can't stand the medicine head all day. Yeah they told me beauty Bumex is a stronger diuretic and is only used if Lasix doesn't work.
I am so sorry. My blood pressure was crazy high because the lasix was not working, they put me on bumix and the blood pressure is coming down. and the fluid in my legs was awful. when I started the bumix I lost 5 pounds over 3 days,,maybe too drastic. I will have more blood work tuesday. I am also on larsatan potassium and it seems to be well tolerated. Best in getting through this.
No I don't have. It's supposed to be diarrhea I don't have diarrhea but I think whatever stools on passing they must be acidic because now I have all this redness around my anal area the other thing is I was told to use compression socks to help reduce the edema I was using Lasix and what happened is it threw off my electrolytes so bad that I had to be hospitalized due to having a sodium count of 119 so they had to give me fluid to get the sodium up so at least now it's up to 127 I know they can also give sodium bicarbonate tablets but for my situation since the sodium was so low they had to bring the Saudi up sodium up slowly to avoid any seizure or other heart-related issues I'm not real crazy about this regiment for this lupus nephritis because I did so much better on me right now the blood pressure is in the one 80s and 90s and now they're having trouble finding a blood pressure medicine to bring down the blood pressure according to what I read if you're on CellCept and prednisone it leaves you prone to the edema as well as high blood pressure but CellCept also has the same side effects my cardiologists and my nephrologist or is working close together to find an additional blood pressure medicine to help at least get the blood pressure down to the 150s versus the 80s from being in bed so long at the hospital I now have weakness and yesterday I developed a lot of hand shaking when I go to write it's all shaky now
