Which medicine is messing with my thyroid med uptake
Might anyone be able to suggest which of my other meds has affected my thyroid med uptake (100mcg thyroxine and 2x5mcg t3)? I was prescribed digoxin, furosemide and bisoprolol after having open heart surgery 3 mths ago to resolve some anatomical defects. Uptil that point thyroid levels were stable

Tamsulosin
I’ve been on Tamsulosin since diagnosis. Now have unconnected (I think) issues with fluid build up in my lungs and consequential breathing issues. Now on frusemide but wondering if stopping Tamsulosin is possible. I don’t want to be taking anything more than I need.

How bad is 1460?I have tried to find info online but lots of rabbit holes there. Cardiologist says if symptomatic

CLL + nephrotic syndrome: furosemide problem
Hello, I'm here to share something with the community that may be important for those who have had nephrotic syndrome related to an infiltration of CLL in the kidneys. Normally, when there is a lot of swelling, it's common to be prescribed furosemide. In my case, I'm being treated with obinutuzumab,

Furosemide
Hi. Just wondering what doses of furosemide people are on for fluid retention (from heart failure). My mum has been increased to 120 mg per day as she has fluid in her chest/lungs. Seems an awful lot! Anyone else on this much and how are the side effects? Thanks in the meantime.

Heart rate monitor results - another update
We had our second private consultation today for mum. Mum had the Zio XT monitor for a week. She has permanent AF and HF and the past couple of months have been so difficult as mum hasn’t felt good pretty much every day. The consultant said mum’s average heart rate is around 80 bpm, but the monitor
