Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to diuretic resistance.It is a medical condition when a person become resistant to diuretic drug effects.
Some advice that I can give to you are:
1) Check the renal function.I suggest the following examinations :
-Serum creatinine levels
-Urea nitrogen blood levels
-Glomerular filtration rate.
-Urine tests
2) Reevaluate with your cardiologist your actual therapy,it might be needed a change in dose,timing or combination of the medications
3) Limit the sodium intake
