Find the cause: You need to find out the reason you are retaining fluid. People may ingest more fluid and salt (s) than they think. One way to deal with this is to cut down on fluid and/or s intake. Another, is to have your doctor increase the dose of your diuretic, or perhaps change it. Pts. With chronic kidney disease need Lasix rather than hctz (hydrochlorothiazide). If swollen legs are still a problem, check your legs' veins.
