Does swelling cause weight gain?

I had terrible swelling in my feet which made me look much heavier. Drinking barley water (jo ka pani) helped me a lot to flush out the excess fluids naturally, and reducing salt in my dinner also worked wonders. But please make sure you don't have blood pressure issues causing this.

Haan na, weight scale on swelling days just shows crazy numbers. It is actually just water weight, not real fat. Don't take stress, reduce salt in your food for a few days and the swelling will go down, then check your weight again.

Bro, swelling is water retention, so obviously the weight machine will show more weight. I get swollen feet after long flights and the weight goes up by a kilo or two easily. It drops back to normal once I stay hydrated and walk around a bit.

Please do not ignore sudden or persistent swelling in your legs or face thinking it is just normal weight gain. For me, it turned out to be a kidney issue that I ignored for too long. If the swelling doesn't go away in a couple of days, please see a doctor immediately.

Our bodies sometimes hold onto things when we are stressed or tired. Keep your mind calm, drink clean water, and let your body heal at its own pace. Take care of your mental peace, and the physical symptoms will slowly find their balance too.

As someone managing diabetes, swelling can sometimes indicate kidney strain or poor blood circulation. Be very careful with your diet, keep your blood sugar strictly under control, and do not eat salty snacks. You should consult your doctor to find the exact reason for this fluid retention.
