Suggest Remedy For Puffy Ankles And Swollen Wrists Due To Water Retention

MANY THANKS
XXXX
Need to know the cause of water retention
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
I understand you are having water retention in the form of puffy ankles and face. It is not just heart disease which causes water retention. I would suggest you the following things
1. Get yourself tested for urine routine for protein loss
2. Liver function test to check for albumin levels
3. Thyroid function test
4. ECHO cardiogram
Low albumin levels in our body causes water retention and so does thyroid dysfunction and heart disease. A very easy way to bring down water rentention is to add a diuretic like Lasix, this will excrete out excess water through the urine
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
