water weight

[blksapphire]

I haven't been able to much of any much of anything lately.  My endo doctor took me off all my diuretics to have a renin and aldersterone test.  I feel and look like the michelin tire man or the pillsbury dough boy.   I can barely walk lately.

Does any of you know of any other diuretic other than pill form to help me shed this water.  I can barely walk through my house without wheezing and breathing heavy.

I was taking the HCT and Diovan with hct. The emergency room took me off  the HCT due to my potassium level being so low and the endo dr. took me off the diovan hct  and just gave me a prescip for diovan without the diuretic.

I am miserable as heck.  I'm wheezing, cant sleep and I have to wait at least one more week to take the renin and aldersterone test.

Please tell me there is hope for me.

Thanks

Do you drink sodas? If you do cut them out completely. I dropped 15 pounds just cutting them out and that includes diet and regular sodas . They are both loaded with sodium. I am not bloated any more.
Lemon in your water will help you get rid of water weight too.Try some fiber tablets too  They seem to help with bloating for me.

Watermelon-really makes me go wee wee!
You can go to a Health Food Store, they have some teas that may help-but you don't want to mess up the test results, either-talk to the person at the Health Food Store-they will know what you can and can't use!!
Watermwlon definately will not hurt, though!!
As far as B Vitamins-I have found that they do not make you go wee wee-just color it dark so ya think there is more of it!
Watermelon has Potassium, too!-Win!Win!! Situation on the Watermelon!
Being in Florida-it should be close to in season-so not too pricey for a Whole Big Juicy Watermelon and RELIEF!!!
Hope Ya Feel Better and Soon!!

I'm really sorry to hear that you're in so much agony, yes water weight gain really bites!! Besides diuretics the only other thing I've taken for water weight are: B Complex and B6 pills, which are available at a Health food store, also eating lots of salads, cucumber, soups, etc.  I wasn't even aware that there was anything in liquid form to take?  I hope you feel better soon-that's no fun...
