Suggest Treatment For Bloating And Problems In Urination
Hello. Im 27 yrs old and have had high blood pressure since I was 15. I take lamictal everyday. My blood pressure is normally in safe range. For the past three weeks I have been so bloated and never have the urge to urinate, nor do I hardly ever urinate. I have gained about 15 lbs in this last three weeks. Any insight or advice I would greatly appreciate.

@ The drug you are taking Lamictal ( Lamotrigine ) is not for hypertension .
It is anticonvulsant drug
@ Reasons of bloating and urination problems are
- documented side effects of lamotrigine
- kidney problem - dehydration
- intestinal infection - others
@ Treatment has to be focused on the reason behind it , till then
- drink plenty of liquids
- avoid more oily , spicy , non veg stuffs
