I have suddenly
started to gain a lot of fluid in my body. This has been ongoing for a few months.
What should I do?
You need to see a
doctor to determine if your kidneys are working. That is the first step. You
may need work up to ensure your thyroid hormone levels are normal. Next you
need to get your heart checked. You have not mentioned your age, but fluid
retention has many causes. A
thorough exam and some basic blood work is necessary-good luck. In the meantime, elevate your leg when resting and wear a decent pair of compression stockings.
