Brief Answer:
Dose of Lasix+Klor needs to be increased
Detailed Answer:
Hi Lady,
Thanks for your query. Your symptoms are NOT due to withdrawal.
Firstly, swelling of both lower
limbs + congestion suggests gross fluid overload, apparently due to either, a failed heart,
kidney or
Thyroid problem. (You have not mentioned the diagnosis made by your treating doctor).
Please upload all investigation reports including, heart workup, EKG, ECHO, chest X-ray; kidneys and Thyroid workup -if they have been done- so that a comprehensive treatment can be advised.
Further, the pain/weakness in the lower limbs may be due to imbalance of sodium and potassium in the blood; or, associated
osteoarthritis.
The dose of Lasix and Klor need to be increased as their dose seems to be inadequate. In addition, specific treatment of the causative ailment- causing swelling of both lower limbs- is also mandatory.
Consult your doctor/Cardiologist and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me; order required tests (if they have not been done so far), and- based on the reports- will arrive at a certain diagnosis and prescribe suitable treatment as advised; including, increase in the dose of Lasix + Klor.
In any case, I would be waiting for the test reports, before giving my final opinion.
Hope I have addressed to your concerns to your complete satisfaction and you find my response helpful and informative. I will be happy to answer further queries, if any.
Fond regards and have a nice day,
Col (Dr.) Rakesh Karanwal
