I took 40mg furosemide today and can barely stand up straight. A few weeks ago I was taking 40mg everyday, even up to 60mg on some days and was just fine. Did that for about two weeks. Was feeling more bloated again so I just took a 40mg dose like I had before but now this time I have every single symptom of a major electrolyte imbalance. Can the furosemide be causing this and this quickly?

Lmao my b, prepared myself to take this shit tho posting on here
u should use it only in special occasions. Obv you’re going to be more bloated than usual like 1-2 days after taking it (rebound effect—> aldosterone secretion, so the body gets rid of potassium and retains sodium and water)
Also furosemide is fucking up your kidneys. Tbh I’d do blood test to see if everything is okay

I know, I stopped this was the first time in weeks. That’s why I’m surprised I’m getting symptoms from a single day of taking it versus when I took it for 2 weeeks straight and no symptoms

No idea. Lesson learned, I’m throwing this shit out. Not worth the risks. Plus I learned how fucking serious low sodium is. Not worth permanent neurological damage for a little bit skinner face lmao

Should we be worried about sodium control too or nah?
