What a difficult situation,
. I hope your wife eventually comes around and that you are able to quit smoking, but I know that's hard, especially with your wife's memory loss. Have you talked with your doctor about your issues with the fluid pills? I wonder if you can take something milder. Has your doctor done a cardiac workup as well? Thinking of you and wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member) Let your regular doctor know what they gave you in the hospital and ask them to check for interactions ... they may be able to change your medications so that you are more comfortable. Have you tried to quit smoking recently? Do you have access to nicotine patches or other products? The website https://www.quit.org.au/ can help you find resources near you in Australia. Try starting with waiting a few extra minutes before smoking, and then think about smoking one less cigarette during the day. You don't have to rush. Sometimes taking small steps is best.
