Water retention.

Hi folks,

I had a pacemaker fitted last year, after suffering a cardiac arrest. Everything seemed to go well. However I started gaining weight & my rehab nurse has told me it's water retention I'm suffering from. Has anyone had this before & if so how do you rectify it? I have been told to take two fusemide (water tablets) daily I was only on one before. Any suggestions would be kindly received.

Thank you Steve......?.
