Thursday, May 17, 2012

Well this week I got additional medicine changes.  I was put back on coreg at 1.35 mg and metolazone at 5 mg.  Both are diaretics (water pill) plus the coreg is a beta blocker.  I was told to take the metolazone in the morning and the coreg in the evening.  I have spent a lot of time in the bathroom...lol.  My water retention is bad, my legs are so swollen they ache and feel tight.  Then today I was told to increase my potassium pill by one more in the evening.  Still doing the dobutamine IV treatments.  I officially have a new (different) cardiologist....Dr. Lee the doctor that did my pacemaker/defibilator.
