Menopause And Edema Posted: 07-24-06 06:58am
Hi,
since it's been so hot here in so. Calif,
i've been retaining lots of fluid (edema)
and my menopausal symptoms have been
worse....More hot flashes and
palpitations. When I cut back on sodium
I lose the water and can actually lose
about 3-4 pounds and feel much better.
Does anyone have the same problem and is
there anything else that can be done to
avoid this? I know hormones play a big
part in water retention.
