Does anyone else suffer from water retention and can put on more than 3 pounds?!


Question: in one day and lose it again. I'm taking furosemide for this condition but I still retain fluid even though I do not take salt...eat dairy products...or any of the things such a fizzy drinks that help the body to retain fluid.

I get so frustrated I've just tried on clothes that I bought for my grandson christening and I'm struggling to fit into them. I do not over eat do not eat sweets or any sugary things I just give up...it's just waste of time. Has anyone any suggestions please that might help me with this problem. Yes I'm seeing the cardiologist but there is never any suggestions forthcoming as to how I can control this fluid build up.

Oh and most days I walk two miles as well as working round the house keeping it clean.

Try vitamin B12 tablets, they make you go to the loo a lot, they work for me, good luck.

This may sound silly but i think drinking more water will help. The more you drink the more you will go.
