:rolleyes: I am so frustrated. The medical field is so complex. they kill us trying to cure us..... :bouncing: ha ha. They got my blood pressure down a bit with
Cardizem CD but guess what. I am retaining fluid and because I am allergic to sulfa, i doubt if there is a diuretic out there for me. Any ideas? What's good for this? I need to get moving, cause I am gaining weight and all those drugs make me sleepy :yawn: ....i would appreciate input. :confused: thanks

Unfortunately, the edema of calcium channel blockers isn't relieved by diuretics very well.
Your only alternative might be to switch away from the Cardizem.
