How To Treat Water Retention Problem?

I'me been drinking about 3 Lo-Carb Monster (380mg Sodium in a can) energy drinks a day for about a year now. I noticed lately that I have some major pitting edema with no other health problems , just water retention. How can I get rid of this edema? My grandmother gave me some spironolactone, should I take this?
