Ask the doctor. I am a 50-year-old man with congestive heart failure. My doctor has me on all the usual drugs, and a couple of years ago added spironolactone. I did okay with it for a while, but then began to notice that my breasts were getting bigger and began to hurt. My doctor agreed that I should stop taking spironolactone, but I wonder if I am missing out on something.
