Feet and legs swelling

[thepianist]

1.5 liters of water a day? The average healthy adult should be drinking at least 3. I’m not familiar with your particular condition but a lot of fluid retention that isn’t entirely due to a med can be resolved with movement. Start by walking around the block. Then get up to taking strolls through the neighborhood. The vit D and exercise may help your symptoms. Sorry I couldn’t read the whole thread, still at work. Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents bc I know anytime my extremeties starting hurting and filling up with fluid, more movement and my increased heart rate eliminated the problem after a few weeks. Good luck.

Hey Ladybug, It sounds like a problem I once had. I was asking myself some of the same questions. I elevated my legs & feet plus took Motrin to relieve the swelling. I ended up going to the hospital & my potassium was extremely low. They kept me for a couple of nights & gave me potassium through the IV. I am taking prescribed medication & my doctors think that helped contribute to my potassium loss. When I left the hospital I had to take 3 potassium pills a day for 2 weeks.
