2092689 tn?1333628608 The swollen stomach in these cases are from fluid retention. The cough is from an inability to breath properly, due to many things but also from the fluid putting pressure on the lungs. If your dog is drinking more than normal, it could also be a kidney or liver related problem. This is not something that can wait. Please do everything within your power to get her to a vet and ask that blood work is done to help the diagnosis.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone else has started having issues with fluid retention? If I press on my skin the marks stay for ages. For example if I press lightly with my finger nail on my arm, the mark will stay there for 5-10 minutes or so. I can almost play tic tac toe on my arm before it fades away! My husdband has noticed particularly in the morning as if I sleep with my fingers etc on my face or chest I will have those marks for a good 10minutes after I get up and move around.
666921 tn?1254990618 sometimes when I wake in the morning I feel as though my arms and hands have swollen-up during the night - they feel sort of bigger and harder - occasionally the lower arm muscles have stabbing pains when I get this - my hands don't feel stiff. I don't notice fluid retention in my knees or ankles - which I think I would if it were down to 'fluid retention' in general. Does anyone else get this type of 'thing' ???

649848 tn?1534633700 My FT's are up in the ranges, where they should be and I no longer have the shortness of breath, at all, even with exercise. I've had fluid retention, off and on, since I was in my 20's; in 2009, when I started this thread, the fluid retention was due mostly to being hypo, not the medication. When I have fluid retention, now, it's not thyroid related. I've found that some teas will get it down rather quickly.

Avatar f tn I read about a trial where they were using Candesartin (Atacand) to prevent scar tissue from forming in the liver, as it's an angiotensin receptor blocker. Atacand saved my life. I had heart failure, almost on the transplant list. I found a great doc at UCDavis (after firing one in Auburn who almost killed me), who put me on the Atacand. My heart is now normal! So when I saw this trial I was really curious.
Avatar m tn Thanks!!! I never had the fluid retention before the Synthroid, does that still apply? I know I did not have the water retention before this. Do you think if my levels get better that I will not have this problem? Why would I suddenly get fluid retention when I start Synthroid?
Avatar n tn Hey there I am very new to all of this but I also noticed I had fluid retention when I started Levo a few weeks ago, it sorted itself out on it's own after a few days.
Avatar f tn It is probably ascites, which is a common occurance with ovarian cancer diagnosed at an advanced stage. Usually, the only way to get rid of it is by tapping, which her doctor has done, or with chemotherapy. Tapping will only relieve the situation, but as you know, it will continue to happen. Chemotherapy can "dry it up" by killing the cancer cells that are causing it. Sometimes it can take a long time, though, depending on how well someone responds to chemotherapy.
Avatar f tn I have not been able to drink any fluids for 9 days due to not being able to swallow as I have muscular dystrophy. The doctor said my blood test say i am hydrated. I haven’t had any urine output today & has been decreasing over the last few days. I have severe chronic fluid retention, can this severe retention give a false hydration result on blood test as it’s counted as fluid?

Avatar m tn You should discuss your concerns with your doctor to determine the cause of this fluid retention you are experiencing to see if duiretic treatment is needed depending on the cause.
Avatar f tn Depends on whether the swelling is from fluid retention or something else. Where would you get "fluid" tablets? Has the doctor already prescribed them for you? There are probably directions how to use them then. If this is something new, you should check in with your doctor.
Avatar f tn Two of my many hypo were fluid retention and pain. Fluid retention was notably around my face and abdomen but there was fluid in the lower legs. My face was puffy around the eyes, eyelids, my face was round and with a 2 inch double chin full of fluid...and a very enlarged abdomen that affected my breathing it was so bad. I could not bare even the lightest sheet on my abdomen as it hurt. A LOT of fluid! I also remember my toes aching badly in particular.
1553083 tn?1296232321 Fluid retention was one of my biggest bug bears when I was trying to prove I was hypo.I called it Belly Bloat. I looked like the marshmallow man from Ghostbusters! You will find however many women get fluid retention when starting the menopause. It is always a good idea to get your kidney function checked, as I did, and found I was a little on the not so good side, and had to take some diuretics to kick those little buggers into gear.
Avatar n tn I am now 3 years post-op and I take Lasix when I have fluid retention. I still get fluid retention, but it is now only once a month or so. OHS is a very big operation and it takes your heart and body almost 2 years to get completely over it. I think she should go to her General Practitioner, let him access her. He can prescribed Diuretic if necessary.
Avatar f tn Fluid retention is a symptom of being hypo and as goolarra mentioned, it's not unusual for symptoms to worsen or new ones to appear, as one is getting used to the med. Side effects of Synthroid are, typically, those of hyperthyroidism.
Avatar n tn Unfortunately, you have to do both. Take the Lasix at home....the fluid retention will slow build up. And then you have to check yourself into the hospital for about a week of liquid Lasix.
