Edema

I got a scare today and realized I might have to go to the emergency room here on the coast near where I live because of edema.

My spironolactone wasn't working because as my Heart Specialist was quoted as saying today,"Operations really screw up general balance in a human body."

So, what he was saying was in effect what I was experiencing. So, even though I was taking 1/2 tablet of spironolactone in the morning and another 1/2 at night my right foot swelled up about twice and above my right ankle looked like it was going to create water breaking through the skin. So, I called my heart specialists office around 4:30PM on Friday telling them that I'm now officially scared because both my feet have been double their normal size from edema water retention despite taking spironolactone which usually keeps my feet normal sized (every day before my burst appendix ordeal starting on March 27th 2015.

He told me to double my dose so I basically should be taking one table of spironolactone in the morning and 1 tablet at night and told me to come into see him while bringing all my medical records since March 27th 2015 when I came into see him so he could go over them from Mercy Medical in Mt. Shasta so I will.
