Peeing All Last Night...

I have been taking water tablets for a while, to try to reduce a swollen ankle/foot, and usually wake up for a pee about 2/3 times a night.

But last night I must have woke up about 7/8 times, and it wasn't just an egg-cupful.
I woke myself up about 10am shouting out in pain, with terrible cramp in my calf, and the 2 smaller fingers on my right hand, and a lousy headache.

I have never passed so much urine, in such a short time. Any advice folks?

My recent test for prostrate were OK

Yes.........

You have been overdoing the diuresis ( water elimination)
Stop taking the water tablets or reduce the dose ( you haven't said what dose you are taking) and increase you fluid intake.

Thanks for reply Sqad,

I was on 20mg of Furosmide up until the middle of April, then Doc changed it to 40mg one a day, as swelling hadn't gone down.
Thanks trt my advice remains.
