Whole body swelling & dehydration symptoms

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi All,

My body was swelling since last month. Initially it started with legs and ankles, then it face and lips as well. I can see and feel the difference that my body is swollen. I took doctor appointment (general physician) and he has advised blood and urinalysis, creatine tests. In blood report, it came that wbc as 11,800 and 3-5 pus cells in urine. Also, creatine test was also done and it came out normal.  He said that these are normal and advised me to take more fluids as my skin became so dry and puffy and  i was feeling so much dehydrated. After 15 days, i took another appointment as my symptoms didnt go down.

its been a month now.. my whole body swollen. I am having dehydration symptoms such as dry skin, muscle pains sometimes. He said that electrolyte imbalance also cause similar symptoms due to low sodium.. he advised coconut water, butter milk, ors mostly..  I am getting tensed day by day. This kind of swelling never happened to me before. 

Are these symptoms are due to dehydration? i am feeling bitter taste in my mouth. So much dry skin all over body.

Any idea what kind of symtoms these are?  I am getting tensed day by day. Any remedies to reduce body swelling? Thanks.

    I’m sorry for what you are going through. About 6 yrs. ago i was 

    diagnosed with an under active

    thyroid and i had the worse symptoms 

    that you could have because i waited 

    so long to get checked out. Anyways

    my face , my hands etc was swollen 

    badly and a lot of my counts was outta 

    whack due to thyroid. Has your thyroid 

    been checked? I hope you find some relief soon. Keep us posted.
