Wife, 89, has history of atril fib and is prescribed lisinopril (40mg), lasix (40mg) and lanoxin (20mg) along with coumadin (5mg) daily. Recent wide-ranging BP/Pulse readings (160's/80's and pulse below 50) led to adding Toprol XL.
First tab last night at bedtime resulted in lowered BP (128/50 and pulse of 41) this AM. Accompanied by inability to urinate (except few drops) for a water drinker.
I just noticed that I had once a week SVT and when ever i took Lanoxin with full stoamch, SVT stopped after 11 hrs. ( that happened twice ). One time I had SVT and i took Lanoxin on an empty stomach and SVT stopped after an hour. Yesterday, I had SVT again. I took Lanoxin after eating my snacks and the SVT stopped after 6 hrs. My BP was 120/80, after 2 hrs. 100/80..I am 41, female. If my 2D echo with Doppler showed all normal, what is the cause then of these palpitaitons.
The second doctor suggested to wait until she is 3 months and stay under supervision and there is 90% for the hole to close until then. They both prescribed Lasix and Lanoxin for her to start immediately. I know that Lasix has some side efects as to pottasium loss and water loss, is it dangerous for a newborn to be taking these medications and another question why the big difference in chance between 2 doctors concerning the closure of the hole. I am really worried for my baby.
My kidney doc prescribed lasix 20 mg a day. After about a month ago. Recently I become ill and weak. I went to my internists. Bloodwork showed my kidney function down to 17% down from 24% in 4 months. The tests also showed dehydration. So lasix was stopped. I am told that dehydration can skew the results....but I don't know how much. They are repeating tests in 2 weeks. I still feel very poorly 2days without lasix. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this. I am very concerned.
Yestersday, the vet prescribed very mild dosage of lasix for my dog and should I start giving her lasix now or should I wait till her steriod to wear off ( when she stop shivering and panting)? Vet is afraid lasix may cause her pancreatitise to come back again if given larger dose. When dogs are given lasix does it means the pet do not live that long? Please advise. Thank you for helping.
they couldnt put him asleep to do some testing cuz he would die. they gave us lasix now for over 6 weeks. my dog was perfect in all ways and we were shocked and still are of this diagnosis. ever since that day he is progressing worse, and he has gained at least 5 lbs in 6 weeks and his stomach is huge and his cough is horrible. he is drinking more, but has to be coersed to go potty and doesnt go very much.
My mother is on coreg .325 and docs just took her off of lanoxin hoping that is causing platelet drop, they aren't sure yet. today heart rate at 142 bpm at rest. All this started happening feb 21. before that heart rate around 100. The problem with more coreg or other beta blockers is the fact her bp too low 96 over 50 the majority of the time.
I am soo scared for her, lanoxin prevents heart attack yet it could be the cause of very low platelets and she could bleed to death. catch 22.
My blood pressure is high 160/94 and doc prescribed an ACE inhib for me. How will this effect my PVC/PAC's? Help or hurt? Right now I take lanoxin .25 for PVCs. HBP runs in the family so I was doomed anyway.
she is already under medication , spironolactopn 1x a day 3mg, lanoxin 2x /day 15 microgm, lasix 2X/day 1, 5 mg, her weight is 6.30 pounds , (2,85kg), dr said she will definitly need surgery , but how old will she have to go under surgery, can she hold until 9 month ? how early can we usually operate such a vsd?
is there any specifi risk that the medicatio dont help her to go throu and get to surgery. ?
My 13 year old Lab was just diagnosed with CHF. Prior to that, our vet put her on Pronin for a bladder issue that worked and solves that issue. However, now we reduced the Pronin because of the Lasix, now the Pronin isn't working like it should, of course because of the Lasix. I'm guessing we will be looking at a trade off situation. Will she be in pain if we ask our vet to take her off the Lasix? Or maybe she could go back to her full dose of Pronin?
He was then discharged and is now recovering at home. He was taking Lanoxin and diuretics and did not have any swelling or breathlessness. So after 3 months the doctor stopped these medications (without checking the EF).
He went for his checkup this month (9 months after surgery) and his echo shows an EF of 40%. The doctor also mentions "Mild LV Dysfunction". So now the doctor has put him back on Lanoxin and diuretics. Is this heart failure where the prognosis is poor?
