ibuprofen and water retention

I also have high blood pressure and take Ibuprofen (which is like meloxicam as its an NSAID), I was told to drink MORE water so that the Ibuprofen doesn't make the blood pressure worse. Its some sort of chemical thing, a pharmacist told me once. Ever since then, my blood pressure has been so much better. Good luck to you.

Most, if not all, NSAIDs have warnings about cardiovascular effects, water retention being one of those. I guess the trick is finding the one that causes the least problems for you. Tylenol doesn't have the effect, but at the same time, it isn't very effective for arthritis pain and swelling. Call your rheumatologist and your pharmacist for advice.

s up with the major water retention? Any ideas out there? Other than waking up 5 times tonight to go to the bathroom? My ankles are starting to look like oranges. Not that they were all that shapely to start with. : ) But they're starting to feel a bit tight. Any ideas? I think I'll start with some green tea.

If he finds himself thristy a lot of the time, he could suck on crushed ice. It seems to work better than plain water for quenching thirst. and it takes a lot less to get the job done. If he drinks alcohol, he needs to quit. If he smokes, again he needs to quit. If he has excess weight, he needs to lose it. If he is sedentary, he needs to get up and move as much as he possibly can, but never to the point of not being able to catch his breath, or carry on a conversation.

I do watch my sodium intake, I drink a lot of water, eat healthy and exercise 5x/wk 45--75 min. I have my yearly eco scheduled the end of this month and will discuss it then, but would appreciate any feedback and comments.

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.

I have now restored to 155 pounds, and feel like I continue to gain weight. I also have constant water retention. Is this normal to still be so bloated even once I'm restored and even past my initial weight? I'm not sure if the distension in my stomach is weight gain or bloating. Anyone experience something similar or know what could be going on? I have attached a picture of what my stomach looks like naturally (no pushing out). https://ibb.

How long have you been on Synthroid? Water retention is often a hypo symptom, and until meds are properly adjusted, which can take a while, you can actually become a little more hypo as your body rebalances.

3 days later her stomach gained about 4 inches (11cm) more water, we took her to another vet, he withdrew clean water out of her belly and said she might have a underdeveloped liver. The vet wanted to put her down, but I refused that. Got her on meds, but had to drain the belly when it reached 33.5 inches (84cm) with 1.57 gallons of water, that's 7.1 liters. It went well for about 2 weeks now, but now she doesn't want to eat, she's pick up some inches and then drops again.

celery onion parsley garlic peppermint eggplant cabbage cranberries asparagus corn cucumber grapes watermelon Some sources say to reduce intake of parsley and celery to avoid water retention. I believe this is based on the fact that they contain a significant amount of natural sodium. Organic, or naturally occuring sodium, may be helpful by keeping table salt in solution, helping to eliminate it.

I just came from the dr today. And she says i have water retention in my lower stomach. Anyone have this and any advice?

Water "renton?" WHAT is that?

Older women with liver disease seem to be particularly susceptible to the hepatotoxicity of NSAIDs and are advised to avoid NSAIDs altogether. Since NSAIDs may cause salt and water retention people with fluid retention problems such as ascites or leg swelling may suffer worsening of these conditions. People with decompensated cirrhosis are at increased risk kidney damage stemming from the use of NSAIDs.

If you are not pregnant, it may simply be that your hormones are out of balance this cycle and causing you to retain water for some reason. Water retention can cause breast swelling and discomfort. Ibuprofen and a good sports bra can sometimes provide good relief. Good luck!

YES! This is a huge source of discomfort and symptoms in my case. I've consistently had elevated c-reactive protein and/or SED rate, both non-specific markers for inflammation. (Never "through the roof high," but above normal ranges.) In me, inflammation causes all of my symptoms to get worse when lying done or even just reclined. It also causes me to gel or "seize up" when I'm still for too long, like at the movies or on a plane.

Hi, Since January I have been having problem when I drink alcohol. I INSTANTLY retain water and can't pee it out! For years, whenever I drank alcohol I would pee it out all night and even feel lighter the next day. Now, after just a few sips I can feel the water coming on, and I will be a few lbs heavier over the next 2-3 days. It's horrible to not be able to enjoy drinking anymore and I love doing it socially! What can be causing this?

All of my weight gain has been my arms and legs rather than torso and I was wondering if it could be water retention. My legs are extremely obese but my body is reasonably normal for my age/ height. It really bothers me for silly reasons. I can't get trousers to fit without falling down at the waist/bum but they're tight on my legs. I can't wear skirts because I don't want anyone seeing these things with the shape and girth of elephants legs. Is this a common hypo response?

Even from the first pill, i feel physical exhaustion and then water retention. I am also short of breath, sometimes i feel sleepy and also sometimes my vision acuity decreases.

Bloating has been a teeny bit better, not constipated, and have been burping. This is not water retention, pregnancy, or PMS. However, I recently discovered through WebMD what a stomach ulcer is. I have been taking an excessive amount of Ibuprofen, as in like 7-8 popping them everyday/everyother day earlier this month when I would be sore. This is super bad, but is this the source of my discomfort? And if it is, what steps should I take.
