I Have Had Fluid Retention For Several Years And My
I have had fluid retention for several years and my doctor had me on lasix 40mg daily and switched me to 100mg of one that starts with a T. I still have so much fluid buildup in my belly area that getting out of the bathtub exhausts me and get short of breath. I have an appointment with a Pulmatologist after my doctor was treating the symptoms and not finding the cause. Had an ekg and breathing test in Feb but my dr wa take to do another one next week. After being put on Lipitor I have become pre diabetic and my kidney functions are not as good as they should be. Feel like I am spinning wheels. I am a 57 year old female already gone through menopause.
