What Causes Fluid Buildup On One Side Of The Body?
Question: I have fluid on one side of my body every day I wake up with it It sometimes goes or stays I take a lot of medicines and have liver function tests every month
Brief Answer:
Needs work up and management
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Fluid on one side of the body resolving after some time of waking up with normal liver functions test is nothing to worry about. However ideally if there is fluid in abdominal cavity, it stays there whether one is awake or asleep. I would like you to get an abdominal ultrasound and scans to assess the extent and volume of fluids. It needs a complete clinical correlation and some baseline work up to assess the nature of these fluids and cause for that and then manage accordingly.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
