What Causes Water Retention In Body And Numbness Of Arms And Legs?
Lately my body feels swollen like I am retaining water, more than what I normally do and both my hands fall asleep at night to the point where I can't feel them when I wake up. What could be causing this? I take a pill for over active bladder could this be the cause or perhaps it is damaging my kidneys, I've been on this medication for two years now.

Hi,
Nephropathy that is kidney disease has to be ruled out first. For that investigate with serum urea, creatinine, eGFR estimation. I also suggest you to investigate with serum protein estimation, serum TSH estimation, SGPT and SGOT estimation.
I suggest you to consult physician for examination. Kindly mention you are on which medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
