What Causes Swelling In The Body?
Hi my name is Kari. For about 11 years now I ve had edema from my head to my toes. I get bad migraines if I forget to take my water pill. I have high blood pressure also. It went from sweating bad under my arm pits to excessive sweating all over my body. I soak my clothes. It just pours out of me. I gained 27 pounds in 1 week from water retention. I can t lose any weight. What do u think it is?
