What Causes Fluid Retention In Feet And Ankles Along With Tightness In The Face?
I am having lots of fluid retention all over and most noticeable in my feet and ankles. My face also feels tight. I had blood work done this spring and was told I was full menopause( I m 44) and haven t had a period in 12 months until last week. It is over but since then I have been experiencing this. Could it me related to hormones or should I be concerned about something else. Diet and Exercise has not changed. Thank you.

Hello,
Your tightness of face and fluid retention is likely related to hormonal changes associated with menopause. However, sometimes it may also be due to heart related issues of thyroid illnesses. I will advise you to gourde tests for these condition. Each of these condition is treatable.
