Have you been to a doctor or even a free clinic? Are you using too much salt on your food or eating salty snacks such as peanuts and/or potato chips? You seem as if you're holding fluid. Drink more water to help your body release what it's holding -- but DON'T overdo it; that can be equally bad on the heart.
