I just learned a great deal more about water weight, how it feels and how it
looks. About 6 weeks ago I was put on a new blood pressure medication. It
was a beta blocker. I have asthma and beta blockers can cause breathing
problems with people with asthma, but this one was supposed to be more
specific and would not effect the lungs. I started out fine, but they needed
to increase the dosage to get my BP where they wanted it. I started to
slowly gain some weight. I just thought I was eating a bit more and did not
think too much about it. My weight kept creeping up very slowly and my
breathing was getting worse, especially when training legs etc. I just wrote
it off as my asthma acting up and I set up an appointment with my pulmonary
MD. I was up to about 190 and was holding visible water in my ankles, but
was told it was from another med I was taking and that I basically had to
live with it. What I didn't realize was that I had fluid everywhere and that
it actually looked like fat around my entire body. I know my body pretty
well and I thought it was fat. I finally got a hold of my main kidney MD who
had been on a medical leave. I also looked up the medication I was on and
saw that I could have fluid in the lungs and my entire body. They took me
off of the medication and gave me a script for some Lasix. I started on the
Lasix and my weight went from 193 to 170 in 24 hours! I went from looking
like I was gaining a bit of weight to having cross striations across my
triceps, glutes etc.. I never thought fluid could look so much like fat
before. I wish I had taken some photos as the difference in my face was like
night and day too. I guess the moral of the story is to ALWAYS question any
meds you are on and even when you think you know your body, ask questions. I
did legs today and the difference in my breathing was like night and day.

Hi,
I read your article. I'm from India. I'm a practicing Yoga Therapist &
a qualified Ayurvedic Acupuncturist. I also conduct the Nadi Pariksha,
the Ayurvedic Piulse Diagnosis. Modern science never has a cure for
problems, rather they always try to take care of the symptoms. I only
know about your problems as you've written it. I'm not taking any
liberties of suggesting a remedy.
the point I'm trying to stress upon is that in 90% of the cases, a
severe bronchial congestion, whether Acute or chronic is pre-judged as
Asthma. Asthma is more of a psycho-somatic disorder. The ailment later
gets related to the body as the body;s internal mechanism has started
functioning in a certain fashion.
The problems of obesity, blood pressure & bronchial congestion are
inter related.
I feel tempted to suggest you certain simple lifestyle changes. There
is no harm if you try it. Its a natural cycle of nature that you
adopt, for your body to function.
First of all, try to stop drinking water with food, drink after 1/2 a
hour.
Chew your food properly. Do not rush after your meal but rest for 10
minutes & then get on with your chores.
Do not talk or watch TV while eating. Eat slowly & relish every morsel
of food.
Do not eat between 12 pm - 2.30 pm in the afternoon
Do go to bed by 9.30 pm & get up before 6 am.
as son as you get up, drink 2 glasses of warm water with a pinch of
salt. Salt water is mildly laxative in nature, softens stools & is
also capable of dissolving the mucus that gets accumulated in the
large intestine.
Do not stay on an empty stomach for a long time, but have meals at
regular intervals.
Do not eat frequently, or in between meals. Eat once in 4 -5 hours, 5
hours once is more ideal.

Try this & let me know how you feel.

Regards & wishing you a speedy recovery,
