If it does then I had amyloidosis since I was a toddler! 😹

But seriously, it may be fluid weight. If you gained too much weight in a short period of time speak to your cardiologist.

Not for me. I was a svelte 175 lb @6’ and now 125 lb soaking wet. At one point I was carrying an extra 20 lbs water weight. My normally chicken legs turned into ionic pillars, like Killary Clinton’s legs. Lasix fixed that
