Talk with doctors...: Besides history and physical exam, blood tests will suggest if your problems are more related with heart, kidneys, liver, or others. Remember every illness is a process of lifelong making. Now, please listen to and follow the instructions from your doctors. For any question, ask them. Meanwhile, healthy lifestyle with no overindulgence and obsession will help tremendously. Best wish...

Go see your doctor: Looks like you're taking a number of medications. Both statins ; Acetaminophen can affect your liver. Celebrex (celecoxib) and advil can affect your kidneys (shouldn't take both together in any given day). Both kidney ; liver damage can cause fluid retention but so can heart failure (which can show up in blood tests, too). Bottom line: go see your doc ; tell him/her every otc ; prescription med you're taking.
