    Default Water Retention

    Hi guys

    Just wanted to ask if this rings any bells with anyone...

    I suffer with periods of pronounced 'water retention', nausea and vomiting which eventually resolves itself, but during my latest episode, I went into shock and my blood pressure crashed.

    Does this sound familiar to anyone? No idea what is causing it, but I feel so unwell during these periods.

    Thanks!!!

    Sometimes the nausea is a sign that your blood pressure is too low or high, ( heart). Do you have a blood pressure machine?

    You might want to get your adrenal function checked.

    Have you been to ER or been evaluated during any of these episodes?
    Has any trained pharmacologist evaluated all your meds since it could be a some sort of drug reaction?

    My own experience of water retention has been associated with renal problems. Initial checks are quick and easy and something that should be done as a matter of course.
