fluid retention since SAH?


Recommended Posts

This is a bit of a strange one. Since my SAH, though I feel I drink the same amount I hardly ever need to go to the loo. I don't think I have fluid retention as ankles and tummy not bloated. I did mention it to my GP and she said that "what goes in must come out" and she didn't think I had fluid retention so itmust all balance up.

However I used to be always going to the loo before my SAH and since I onlly go a few times per day. It's almost as if my bladder has got bigger!

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Anne

I have the opposite problem, I need to go to the loo more now, especially in the mornings. I do drink a lot of fluids, but I'm also on BP medication and one of the pills is a mild diuretic, so that is probably why. The doc is right though ... what goes in must come out. Even with fluid retention I would have thought it would eventually balance out.

Regards

Keith

I'm the oppisite to you too Anne although I used to be just like that before........

I'm on a water tablet too I have what I call good times and times I need the loo all the time I've noticed last few years that it seems to be as the weather starts to get colder although this year well its been cold......
