    • Close Heart Failure

      Doing water aerobics, became short of breath and weak and heard myself gurgling. Went to ER, admitted to CCU, was told had Congestive Heart Failure. Discharged and had to evacuate for hurricaneGustave so didn't have good follow up at first. Just found out it is the bottom part of my heart that is failing and I also have atrial fibulation.

      Treatments

      Aldactone Too Soon to Tell
      Digoxin Working / Worked
      Was on this for the atrial fib but taken off my heart rate went down too much so taken off of.
      Lasix Working / Worked
      On at present. Since diagnosed with CHF have noticed is not making me urinate as much
      Vitamin E Working / Worked
      I keep taking it not sure if working or not.
