How To Treat Hypervolemia

Rest

Getting proper rest is important for every individual, as the body needs time to recover to avoid fatigue and overstimulation. However, patients with hypervolemia should also be cautious and careful not to over-ingest fluids during rest periods, as this can exacerbate swelling and other symptoms. Be sure to still get an adequate amount of physical exercise, as this is a natural way to boost circulation and excrete excess fluids through sweating. Sitting for too long negatively impacts circulation and often leads to uncomfortable bloating, so take breaks and walk regularly. After physical activity, though, make sure to take a break and recuperate. If you experience swelling in the extremities, it is helpful to keep the affected limbs elevated to heart level during relaxation and sleep.
