Furosemide for Edema "I started taking Furosemide yesterday for swelling in my feet and ankles. Right after taking it, I had to make a 100-mile drive and ended up stopping 5 times en route to pee. The swelling has already decreased a lot, and I am able to walk again without pain. I had pretty bad nausea after both doses. I am taking 40 mg once a day. I had to call in sick today as the nausea was causing vomiting. I'll try taking it after work. I went back to bed after calling in sick today, and my cat that always sleeps on me was quite annoyed at trips to the bathroom every 10 minutes."

For Heart Failure "I'm only 32 years old, and I have been diagnosed with severe CHF. They prescribed me furosemide 40 mg twice a day and spironolactone in the morning. Yet, the furosemide only becomes effective when I must check in with the ER to have fluid removed. I'm still coughing constantly, out of breath, and nauseous. It's terrible till I get to the hospital. They'll get an average of 7 liters of fluid, and I'll skip out of there singing like I never had a heart problem to begin with."

For Edema "I was given this medication to lower my blood pressure. After taking it for one day, my BP went from 165/100 to 122/80. It worked perfectly for that. BUT... I have had headaches and nausea every single day since I started this medication... which was a week ago."
