title: Ask the doctor.  Over the past few years, I have needed to take hydrochlorothiazide and Lasix together.  After I was hospitalized for a serious electrolyte imbalance, my doctors told me never to take these medications again.  I recently had my aortic valve replaced, and am now retaining some water.  Are there any diuretics I can safely take for this?
