A fast or irregular heartbeat (tachycardia)
In other cases (such as chronic venous insufficiency or oedema following minor trauma) it is possible with both conventional and natural approaches to focus specifically on the oedema.
Nausea or vomiting
Patients should consult their physician before taking any additional prescriptions, over-the-counter medications or nutritional supplements. Other substances that can influence the effects of diuretics include the following:
, A pituitary gland disorder marked by excessive thirst and the excretion of large amounts of urine.
Thus, diuretic herbs are not yet well supported for use in reducing oedema.
Cerebral edema (osmotic diuretics only).
The pressure of a pregnant uterus on pelvic veins can also cause mechanical edema.
, The amount of fluids retained can vary with disease conditions that affect the circulation.
However, diabetics are commonly prescribed diuretics if the benefit (e.g., treatment of high blood pressure or heart failure) outweighs the risk.
Loop diuretics produce the greatest increase in urine flow.
The discussion below deals only with situations in which it is safe to focus on the oedema itself and not the underlying cause.
