Oh, I'd never suggest she stop her meds on her own. I wanted her to not take her Lasix and lisinopril until she saw the doc the following morning (who cut them both in half). If she still needs a diuretic, why not HCTZ, which isn't as tough on the kidneys and is potassium-sparing? I don't work with cardiac patients every day, so I don't know the meds as well as you do, so maybe I'm way off in left field.
My mom's back in hospital (temporarily,I hope), with very low BP (they didn't tell me what it is, I'm calling now and will likely go down there. Hospital is an hour away, so I'll call first). The whole med stuff will probably be straightened out by her cardiologist, who works out of that hospital.
