New Meds

It took awhile for me to connect with the new water pills that the cardiologist asked me to try. By the time I got them from the pharmacy and stopped having tests run, a few days had passed. The nurse told me that I would likely find myself running to the bathroom while the fluid drains from my system and that I should take them in the late afternoon so I don't have to be disrupted either at work or during the night.

So today I took them. It is true that when I did go to the bathroom, the volume was heftier. But I didn't go more frequently or at inconvenient times. I don't think they are actually all that effective. I suppose if I did have heart trouble, then this medication would be more effective. I am meeting with the cardiologist to do a follow up and we will discuss it then. But I think this experiment is a bust. I will be happy to give it up.
