How can i reduce fluid build-up in the abdomen caused by congestive heart failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meds/limit salt: the fluid build up is due to the weakness of the heart and subsequent salt/fluid accumuliation. the meds your doctor gives you often strengthen the heart, lessening the tendancy for accumulation. salt in the diet will cause more fluid to accumulation - avoid salt.
