Taking laxative on daylie base (i know not good please don't tell) if i stop i get water in legs why is that?? will it go away or stay after i stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Answer : I would recommend seeing a doctor in order to determine the cause of the fluid in your legs. Potentially serious causes include heart failure, malnutrition, kidney disease, liver disease, anemia, and sleep apnea causing right heart failure. Taking laxatives daily can cause serious electrolyte disturbances as well as reflex constipation.
