Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you have reported. I understand this must be a very difficult condition for you to handle. This is probably suggestive of a failed organ. One of the most common causes are heart failure, liver failure kidney failure or poor nutritional status. If you have been diagnosed with one of these conditions before, this would be the most likely reason.

For now, raise the legs, avoid excess fluid and salt intake. I will also suggest that you increase the dosage of furosemide because this is suggests there is fluid overload in the body. I will also appreciate if you could send an image for review and more insights from me. I hope to hear from you!

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
