Does Lasix Reduce The Pounding Heart Beat?
my feet and ankles were swollen, so my doctor prescribed lasix. I have aFib and my heart was pounding/irregular almost all day. On 5/23 I started taking 20 mg lasix, and by 5/25 the swelling was down and I could no longer feel my heart beating. It s still in afib, but I can t feel it-a great relief. Could the lasix have also caused my heart to be less pounding?

Hello
No Lasix has decreased the excess load of fluid on your heart and Improved your cardiac function but it doesn't help in controlling heart rate in people with Atria Fibrillation.
