Suggest Remedies For Incontinence And Swollen Feet While On Diuretic Medication

Dear Sir, I have taken my daily Diuretic meds. every day. I am doubly incontinent because of these pills. Tonight I find my feet and ankles swollen more than ever. I didn t work as hard today and spent more time on the Computer. Would having my legs hanging downward more make them so swollen? Thank You,

Hello Dear. Diuretics are given to decrease swelling of legs. Since you are in sitting position for long time the swelling has increased. keep your legs in an elevated position, atleast while sleeping. Keep pillow below feet. Take medications regularly as prescribed by your doctor.
