What could water retention be a symtom of?
Question:
Answers:
Reduce salt in your diet to reduce the water retention in your body.
Medical problems commonly resulting from untreated obesity and morbid obesity include:
* Diabetes
* Hypertension
* Heart disease
* Stroke
* Certain cancers, including breast and colon
* Depression
* Osteoarthritis
Obesity can lead to a gradual decrease in the level of oxygen in your blood, a condition called hypoxemia. Persons who are obese may temporarily stop breathing while asleep (sleep apnea). Decreased blood oxygen levels and sleep apnea may cause a person to feel sleepy during the day. The conditions may also lead to high blood pressure and pulmonary hypertension. In extreme cases, especially when left untreated, this can lead to right-sided heart failure and ultimately death.
Doctors prescribe diuretics to hypertensive patients to reduce overweight and thus reducing hypertension.
Drink eight glasses of water daily. If you are suffering from kidney stones, drink upto 15 glasses of water daily.

R u getting your period?
Diabetes, Pregnancy, Period etc...I suggest seeing a doctor
It's a symptom of a lot of things: high blood pressure, kidney infection or disease, too much salt in your diet. How old are you? Are you in good health? Do you have any other symptoms? You need to ask yourself these questions, and if you think it's serious, go see a doctor.
You could be consuming too much salt. It is normal to be a little bloated from drinking water, but your reason for absorption could be due to your salt intake.
if your eating a lot of salty foods eliminate them ASAP
water retention comes from sodium intake
try to reduce it. i really don't know what might be wrong but i recommend for you to go get a physical
water retention can mean so many things..
best wishes:)

Dear Samantha89,
If I were you, I would have my thyroid checked. It is common knowledge that there is an increasing daily number especially in women, who are developing thyroid disease. It is a simple blood test. When the thyroid has trouble functioning correctly, it does not have the ability to regulate the water in the body. Thus, you have pockets of water appearing and weight gain. It also will disrupt your cycle, monthly.
Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism is easily corrected. If this is the problem, don't worry. All will be back to normal soon with a thyroid hormone replacement therapy. The swelling pools of water will recede and your period will return.
Check with your doctor and have a blood test done. You will be right as rain in a manner of a month. Hope this helped.
