I had a shoulder cuff repair 4 weeks ago. I am 73 with CHF & COPD I weigh 268 normally. I have been holding water. My legs are swollen, causing me pain, unstable , & weak. my weight this morning ie 280lbs I take 2, 20mg lasix (furosemide) twice a day normally = 40 mg. yesterday I took 60 mg I do not notice any difference this morning. question, how often can I take lasix to take off the fluid. thank you.
