Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Collection of fluid in lower limbs, is due to hypothyroidism possibly.
2. It is mostly cardiac cause secondary to hypothyroidism.
3. In lying down position, limb elevation within 2-3 pillows, above level of heart will reduce edema. Due to this, increased urination is going to be seen during night.
4. Additionally diuretics like frusemide will also be useful.
5. Meet your doctor once to get your thyroid and cardiac profile evaluated. More clinical history, and lab reports necessary for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
