Suggest Treatment For Water Retension
I have been diagnosed with primary aldosteronism and have been treated with Maxzide 50 mg which worked for a few months, then switched to sprironaldactone 200 mg daily - this has raised my postassium level which was low but has not helped with the fluid retension. What do I try next?

In this situation you need combined diuretics like frusomide plus spironolactone. In general in primary hyperaldosteronism edema is uncommon. It's better to re-look at diagnosis.All the best. Avoid salt diet.
