>Hello,

Edema(ankle/foot swelling)(press finger into ankle and see if it leaves an indent like a spoon mark and then you can call it pitting edema.

Carbohydrates will make you retain more water than salt will.Also try elevating your feet whenever you sit down.This gives the heart a break somewhat and relieves pressure in the legs.The more exercise one does as well,,,the lesss water you will retain.Drink more water and you will find you will retain less.

Stick to a high protein/low carb diet and drink plenty of water.If you can avoid the lasix,please do so.I have been on diuretics for my heart and the side effects are not pleasant to say the least.

Hope this helps >>
