What Does Fluid Overload Indicate?
I had my aortic valve replaced 4 and a half years ago. They tell me I am now at 62% from 18%. I am taking 80 ml of lasic. I am starting to retain everything that I drink. I can t seem to drink anything without retaining. My cardiologist told me I have fluid overload. What does that mean.
