it may be edema, but a cardio dr. is what you need to see to exclude anything else.

tell your primary you must see a cardio and please give you the referral.
tell him you need this for your peace of mind and your health AS they are related!

the fluid retention and potassium are all fine and good, but you want a diagnosis that is current for your heart health....and this is not negotiable.

good luck (((bebop)))

peace and love,
night
