How Does One Deal With Dehydration And Uncontrollable Thirst Caused By Degenerative Heart Condition And Consumption Of Lasix?
How to deal with the uncontrollable thirst and dehydration that comes from a generative heart condition, the takin of lacix and water retention(bloating)? Am retaining water, though taking lacix and the thirst is unbelievable. Thank U
Lasix is a diuretic which contains fresemide 40 mg which causes diuresis of water and salts including sodium and potassium.
The water retention effect might be due to low cardiac out put or these diuretics will cause loss of sodium along with water, sometimes low sodium causes impairment in the action of lasix
Please monitor electrolytes while taking diuretics.
Thanks
