Edema (fluid retention), which is the enlargement of the aortic valve, can cause the heart to pump too much blood. Heart rhythm disorders (such as QT prolongation or torsades de pointes) can also lead to heart valve problems, making it more likely for the heart to beat too fast or beat too irregularly. Lasix also can lead to a sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes, which can cause unwanted effects or other problems. Therefore, Lasix is sometimes used to treat edema. Kidney problems can also cause the heart to beat more irregularly or beat more often. Edema can also cause breathing difficulties, dizziness or fainting. If any of these symptoms occur, the doctor should be consulted.

Lasix is used to treat high blood pressure and edema (fluid retention). High blood pressure is a dangerous—potentially fatal—condition in which the heart is met with too much resistance from blocked or narrowed arteries as it tries to pump blood and oxygen around your body. High blood pressure can lead to serious health issues, including heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, and many more complications when not treated. Nearly half of Americans have high blood pressure, and heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.

Edema is the medical term for swelling caused by fluid trapped in the body’s tissue. This swelling is often a symptom, not a condition, caused by diverse medical problems, including inactivity, venous insufficiency, heart failure, kidney disease, and more. Edema commonly leads to swelling, difficulty with movement, and difficulty breathing. When left untreated, excess fluid in the body can increase blood pressure.

By lowering fluid buildup in the body, Lasix helps lower blood pressure. It should be noted that Lasix is prescribed along with a healthy diet and physical exercise to reduce blood pressure. Doctors do not use Lasix alone to treat high blood pressure.
