[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2412024, member: 25851"] I'm not surprised that doctors (mine amongst them) seem very little concerned about fluid retention. They don't seem to have an answer, so it seems that they just shrug their shoulders and accept that it just is. Many people are taking tablets to control high blood pressure - I am, and have done for about 40 years. My son also, since he has had to take steroids for sarcoidosis, has had to take Ramipril to get his blood pressure down to a reasonable level. From being very slim (too slim really) he has put on lots of weight and has quite a "pot belly". In fact, he had to reduce the amount of Ramipril he was taking and now his blood pressure is just a bit above where the doctor would like it to be (and quite a long way above where it used to be). Perhaps the doctors are just accepting that a balance has to be made and so, they accept the effect of increased weight and increased blood pressure medication. Not that any doctor has ever said this - just my assumptions really. [/QUOTE]
