Sounds like you really need to see a doctor. I'm in CHF to the point that I'm in need of a heart transplant. One of my problems is weight gain over night. As of now, they got me talking 40 mg of Lacix twice a day. All of the swelling is always in my chest, never in my legs. It gets to the point to were I wake up in the middle of the night becouse I can't breath. I'm also limited to the amount of fluid intake per day to 1500cc. About 4 glasses of water, no BEER.

So, do you see any swelling? If so, you need to be checked out ASAP.

Good luck, Paul

sounds like it

The weight changes are a reason to call your dr asap to see what's going on.
