Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that his symptoms could be related to heart failure. You should know that lasix, also called furosemide is a diuretic, used to eliminate excessive amounts of fluids from our body. It is helpful in the management of fluid retention from heart failure. So, just relax! His symptoms are not related to any adverse effects of lasix, but to his organs condition. A cardiac ultrasound and further blood lab tests should be done to establish the possible cause of his problems. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
