Why am I retaining water and how can I stop it?!


Question:

Why am I retaining water and how can I stop it?

I am retaining water in my feet, my hands, even my face! I am not pregnant, I am newly being treated for sleep apnea with an APAP and I am ACHY from the retained water. Also, I recently started eating wheat again after a while. I'm taking water pills but I fill right up again with the puffiness. I need help because I feel like crap. My dr is not taking this seriously- he's like, take these water pilss and exercise and you'll feel better by the end of the month. I feel like the sta-puf marshmallow man.

Already have a water pill, am avoiding salt, and drinking a lot of water.


Answers:

Keep track of your salt intake. Salt in your body makes you retain water which is one of the reasons why people sometimes gain a little bit of weight during dieting.
