Water Retention

(Anna) #1

I am drinking 9.5 glass of water daily, not cutting out sea salt. And occasionally an electrolyte supplement. But my legs are very swollen. Sometimes painful. Anyone have any ideas for addressing this?

Anna, there are different degrees of swollen legs. Ranging from minor, needing just some adjustment with electrolytes, to more serious condition. Your use of the words “very swollen” concerns me a bit, which makes me think you need to seek some medical attention. This is certainly the case if you can press an imprint in your swollen limbs without seeing the impression bounce back to normal.

Thanks Fiorella,
Went to the doctor today and had labs done. She wants me to have a stress test done too, which I will schedule.

Good, i’m glad you got some medical attention and getting data to look at.

Keep us posted!! I hope all is well and swelling was temporary.

how did you go arenteria? I have been adding salt to my diet (sole water), and it is hot here (Melbourne Australia) and unusually I have quite swollen legs. I’m going to lay off the sole water for a few days to see if it makes a difference. But did you have any results that might apply?. Been keto 8 months without anything like this.
