Welcome to EmpowHER and thanks for your question. I can imagine how you must feel. Water retention is also known as edema. Water retention problems arise when fluid is not removed by the lymph system properly, it is retained in the body tissues where it causes swelling. Causes of body water retention depend on a wide range of factors including a high salt intake, as a reaction to hot weather, gravity, nutritional deficiencies, burns as well as sunburn and as a side effect of certain drugs.
That's why it's best to see a doctor.
