Thanks Mike,

I think I am going to follow your lead as far as taking lasix is concerned.

Re: Lasix Question

Hi Sydney. Yeah, I've had that feeling of nausea, usually when the lasix dehydrates me too much. Now I monitor my weight and blood pressure daily. When the weight goes up 3 pounds overnight, I take lasix, or if my bp is too high, I will take lasix. Otherwise, I'd rather watch the sodium intake and limit liquids to no more than 2 liters a day.MikeOn Jul 8, 2006, at 9:33 AM, Sydney wrote:

Hi Everyone,I hope you are all finding some pleasure in this weekend. The weather here in NE is beautiful today. I was just put on Lasix three days ago. I guess I have not been watching my sodium intake closely enough. (I intend to watch it like a Hawk from now on) The medication is giving me a feeling of slight sea sickness. I was wondering if anyone else has had a problem adjusting to Lasix. Sydney

Not my lead, it was my doctor's orders. The challenge was the

inconsistency of my condition. With cardiomyopathy, some days are

better than others so I have to determine day by day what I'll need.

The lasix is PRN, which means take as needed, and I have learned when I

needed it. This took a while and one trip to the ER before I realized

what was going on.
