Hello Porcelain,\n\nI checked a resource written by pharmacists and other medical professionals...\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/uspdi/202084.html#SXX19\n\nThere was no mention of water retention as a side effect.\nThis doesn't mean there is no relation between the two, it could\nbe very rare. Please check with your doctor or primary health care provider!\n\nWater retention, or endema, is generally not bad (unless it is in the lungs).  http://patients.uptodate.com/topic.asp?file=kidn_dis/4639\nHowever, whatever is causing the water retention should be addressed.  The cause of water retention can lead to problems in the kidney, heart, or liver.\n\nA doctor or health care provider can, by observation and ordering tests,  determine the cause of the water retention.  For example,\nblood or urine tests may be ordered  to check on the condition of the liver and kidney.\n\nAgain, I do not know if there is a relation between the two, or how serious it is.  Please consider this to be an aid in any discussion with your health care provider.\n\nHoping this helps some,\nJanice\n\nPS Feel free to email me if this answer doesn't make sense\nor if there are other questions.

it is one of several things which collectivly are called as premenstural syndrome.it is due to fluctuations of estrogen and progestron hormones which leads to water retention .it is not completely understood why , but in some women the metabolism of progestrone hormone is different and thats why they have these signs and symptoms.it is nothing to worry about, if you retain fluids so much you can consult your doctor and they will give you some diuretics which will help you . meanwhile its better for you to decrease your salt in take. you didnt say any thing about mood disturbances and nervousness, but if you have them along with this just consult your doctor andd they will give you symptomatic treatment.and every thing will be fine.

Go to your local pharmacy and purchase an over the counter water pill.  It sounds like your body is just in shock from the water you are intaking.  Your body thinks it won't be getting much fluid and it doesn't want to lose it, so your body is retaining the fluid.  A water pill will work just fine.....just be sure to drink plenty of water, so your body will start getting used to this and will learn that it doesn't need to retain the fluids you are intaking.

Well, I'd check with yoru doctor about how the medication can "hinder" your training and running.  but DONT STOP TAKING YOUR BP tabs. Exercise can cause you BP to rise and you're taking the meds for a reason.  NOT taking your pilss, do "get a better time" may cause you to visit the hospital, and NOT as a visitor but as a guest in a bed.  Talk to your physician.

It is not a common side effect, though it is considered a rare one. I would call your doctor, as water retention is a rare side effect of this medication

alcohol acts like a diuretic and they tend to pass  lot of urine and also alcohol needs lot of water for its metabolism.so body tends to loose a lot of water. so urine may be concentrated and burning to pass urine.lack of water also one causes of Hang over effect-rebound cerebral oedema.so my advice is to take lot of water after a binge drinking.\nhp useful\ng.luck

I'm no doctor, but I have read that drinking plain ol' water (not sodas which have sodium or other popular drinks) helps the body to not retain fluid. Sorry, don't know the mechanics or where I read it. Like the other person said that hope there is a doc involved in this as decreasing fluid intake could be hard on body and kidneys unless under medical supervision.

It can be pulmonary edema, and diuretics are prescribed for this.  However, you should not be self-diagnosing and popping pills for this, you need to call your physician immediately, explain the symptoms, and if they can't get you in sooner go to the ER.  Too many diuretics will cause you more harm than good, like dehydration which will lead to metabolic problems.  I urge you to call your doctor ASAP

water retention or edema...is a condition where your body holds onto the water reserves in your body, for various reasons.  You may be dehydrated, have liver or kidney functioning problems (your waste system may have something wrong with it), it comes from many things.  Women tend to retain more water than men, because water rentention is also due to fluctuating hormone levels, which happens during your period.

There are several reasons for the severe fluid retention you are describing, ranging from kidney-related to autonomic dysfunction.  Try finding a skilled primary care doc to start with to see if he or she can help you with obtaining a real diagnosis and effective treatment, and/or where appropriate, referral to a specialist dealing in such disorders.  In the meanwhile, have you tried a course of Rx diuretic, such as hydrochlorothiazide pills (commonly referred to as simply "HCTZ")?  Ask your doc if she or he would be willing to start you on a course of that or a similar Rx to help alleviate the edema.  You will need a true diagnosis before you can find the right treatment, but perhaps as you go through the process the pills will help alleviate some of the more aggravating symptoms.  I know it's hard, especially with the heat of summer coming; it tends to get worse in the summer months.  Good luck and don't take "we don't know why" for an answer...keep searching until someone does.  Good luck.

Hi there. Here is some information on fluid retention I give to my patients, it may be helpful to you but please check with your doctor before trying these if you are currently on medication.\n\nSymptoms\nThe most common symptoms of fluid retention are puffiness of the fingers, feet, ankles, legs and abdomen. In some cases urine may be passed infrequently or in small quantities\n\nCauses\nThere are a number of causes of fluid retention ranging from simple, easily treated conditions through to serious and life-threatening diseases including kidney, heart and liver diseases, and cancer. It is important to consult your healthcare professional regarding your fluid retention in order to rule out these serious conditions before commencing self-treatment.\nMany mild cases are due to poor circulation such as occurs when sitting or standing for a long period, and fluid retention is a common symptom of varicose veins.\n\nPremenstrual syndrome is also a common cause, and is the likely diagnosis if your symptoms occur during the 10-14 days before your period starts, and are relieved afterwards. The weight gain commonly experienced in premenstrual syndrome is largely caused by fluid retention.\n\nFluid retention can also be a side-effect of certain medications; and the surgical removal of lymph glands can result in localised oedema.\n\nIf you suspect your medication is responsible for your fluid retention discuss your concerns with your healthcare professional, who may prescribe a diuretic medication (a medicine which increases the volume of urine produced and thereby relieves the fluid retention).\n\nNatural Therapies\nVitamin B6 is commonly deficient during pre-menstrual syndrome and may help to relieve fluid retention at this time.\n\nHerbal diuretic medicines which may be of assistance for the relief of fluid retention include dandelion leaf, horsetail and corn silk.\n\nCelery seed and juniper berries are herbal diuretics with special application to arthritic Conditions. \n\n Important Notes\nMany causes of fluid retention are simple and easy to treat, but others may be very serious. \nAlways consult your health care professional before commencing self-treatment, and particularly if you are taking medication for high blood pressure or other cardiovascular conditions.\n\nPrevention\nAvoid crossing the legs, standing for long periods of time and wearing tight clothing as these may all restrict circulation. \n\nIt may also be helpful to lie with your legs elevated against a wall at the end of the day, or to raise the foot of your bed a few centimetres off the ground. This allows gravity to assist the circulation and fluid to flow back up the legs.\n\nMaintain a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in salt.\n \n Hope this helps.\nCraig - Naturopath

It sounds to me like she is dehydrated, and because of this she had fluid retnetion. When a person is dehydrated, teh body hold on to all the extra water, and causes them to swell. This can be dangerous and cause high blood pressure. Just because she says the pills are working, she should still see a doctor as soon as possible. \n\nThis may sound gross, but its true: ask her what color her urine is. If it is on the darker side, then she is dehydrated. And gaining weight in th legs and stomach are the main places for water retention.

Antidepressants are renowned for putting weight on you and for causing fluid retention. This is why you are swelling. Extra weight and fluid is gathering there as it has been a site of injury to the body. It will naturally protect that area when it is being worked with fluid and if your having troubles there it will aggravate that further.\n\nSpams and cramps/pain can be from a lack of Magnesium in the diet and the medication will be leaching this from your body.\nMy advice would be to talk to a Naturopath or Doctor open to more natural treatments about an alternative treatment programme for your depression so as to eliminate so much medication. see here http://www.jentleearthhealing.com/tft.html I use this method with great success for my patients, if you are interested then contact me and I will put you in touch with a practitioner in your area. I would see a Naturopath about geting tested for what you are deficient in mineral wise and get onto a supplementation programme, you will notice the difference within a few weeks believe me.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.
