Hi,

Welcome to the forum. I am really glad to help you out. You should consult a physician and get yourself properly evaluated for the cause of bloating up.

You might need o undergo tests for the kidney functions as compromised kidney functions can cause fluid retention in the body resulting in the person being bloated up.

There are other drugs available which are more effective than furosemide like torsemide but you need to conusult a physician before taking it. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
