Also have a pain in my chest area..blood work and chest xrays are normal..I dont know who else to see or what I can do.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since you are having chest pain with fluid retention, in my opinion possibility of cardiac cause is more. Congestive cardiac failure (CCF) can cause chest pain and fluid retention due to poor pumping of heart. So better to consult cardiologist and get done1. ECG2. 2d echo3. Stress test rule out CCF. If pumping function of heart is decreased than along with fluid pill, you will require cardiac isotropic Chat Doctor.  This
