    Sounds as though your are storing water for some reason. Make sure you drink lots of water to flush the kidneys. Lie on the floor and rest your legs up the wall to allow the fluid to drain away. See the doctor if things don't change.

    Could be hypertension (high blood pressure). Go for a check up.
