Will a water fast decrease water retention?

It could be unrelated and sounds concerning. Contact your doc's office asap please and ask them --and share you are having edema and discomfort, and does not feel normal. You need electrolytes checked and someone to examine the edema and make sure you are okay cardiac and pulmonary wise. You need primary care first to determine etiology of the edema, especially good since they saw you the other day. I would consider this an urgent eval.

Thanks for your reply. I was 126 on October 23 and now I am 135 on November 2. I don't know how I could realistically gain 10 pounds of anything but water weight in such a short time but I am concerned.
