Retaining water

mhuffstickle

Does anyone else seem to retain water the more water that they drink? The closer I get to 8 glasses a day, the more I seem to become bloated and start to swell. I do have high blood pressure but it is maintained by prescription meds.

Thanks for any advice.

That can happen at first if you aren't used to getting enough water. Just keep drinking those 8 glasses a day, your body will figure it out and will adjust.

when our bodys get use to it they will stop being so greedy with it and start giving it back. I am havin the same thing but each day seems to be better

I have the same problem, but it's usually related to my salt intake.

check the color of your urine it should be the color of lemonade. If to dark, not enough water to light to much water, your body needs a healthy balance. If you continue to retain water you may need to get your kidneys checked. Dialysis is not fun.
