Hiyou may consult your cardiologist again. Water retention is the most common cause due to variety of reasons-from heart function, liver function, kidney function and hormonal reasons as well. Step by step it should be investigated. Lastly pitting edema may be due to lymphatic channel blockages rarely too. Treatment is by diuretic medicines to promote water loss, maintain salt balance and treat the cause after finding one best wishes
