Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi Harry, Glad to hear you're feeling better. I too recently have had a similar experience. My kidney transplant lost a little function and when they put me on the diuretic, I lost 15 pounds of fluid in two weeks and right away felt that I could breath better etc. Hope you stay well.

He recommended I be hospitalized and placed on Lasix 40 mg IV. Entering the hospital I weighed 200 pounds and two days later I weighed 184 pounds, a loss of 16 pounds of fluid in two days. Since water weighs 8 pounds per gallon, this means I lost two gallons of fluids. I can now breathe without distress, and I have been placed on a low sodium and a low fluid intake diet. This is in conjunction with a low carb diet. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Glad you are feeling better Harry. It is really important that you moniter your weight daily. Congestive heart failure can cause water weight gain rapidly and needs to dealt with rapidly. If you gain more than 1 or 2 pnds in a day, you should call your doc. Hopefully the lasix will keep that water weight from building up again. quick weight loss plan After two weeks of severe tiredness, gasping for air and swollen edema, I consulted my heart doctor regarding my newly diagnosed CHF congestive heart failure.
