What do fluid tablets do for you? Should you rely on them?
Diuretics (or water tablets) are used to rid the body of extra fluid or salt. People with high blood pressure, heart failure, swollen tissues, and kidney disease often use diuretics to treat these conditions. … Prescription diuretics are commonly called water pills, and their first effect is to increase urination.
The buildup of excess fluid in your body can take a variety of forms from belly bloating and swollen ankles to nausea, persistent coughing and fatigue. You may be tempted initially to dismiss this hodgepodge of problems as having little to do with your heart. However, they all signal water retention, which can mean trouble for people with a history of heart failure. Fluid build up can quickly escalate and become life threatening. Read More
What causes fluid retention?
Your body is made up mainly of water. When your hydration level is not balanced, your body tends to hang on to that water. Usually, water retention may cause you to feel heavier than normal, and less nimble or active. It can also cause:
- bloating
- puffiness
- swelling
Fluid retention is otherwise know as Edema: swelling caused by the abnormal buildup of fluid in the body. The fluid collects under the skin within the tissues that are outside of the circulatory system. The circulatory system carries blood through the body.
Edema is most common in the feet and legs. It can also occur in the hands, arms, face, and abdomen. Read More
