Last week, I was prescribed to take Lasix, along with Klor-Don (potassium supplement) for Congestive Heart Failure. Also Levaquin for pneumonia.
I returned to doctor, to state that the Lasix was not having an effect on my urinary habits at all.
SO, the doctor prescribed 60mg Lasix per day, 30mg Klor-Don per day, with an additional 5mg og Lisinopril per day.
Now, everything I read about Lisinopril, is that it should not be taken with Lasix, or any potassium additive stuff.
Plus all the side symptoms that lead to my first prescriptions, are exactly the side effects of Lisinopril. How in the world would I ever know anything was working?
Also, my BP is 108/81. Doesn't look high to me.
Any thoughts? I watched my Dad wither away after being presented additional prescriptions when ones weren't working. To me, it complicated his problems. I'm not about to get into the same piss*** contest with doctors & prescriptions.
