Please take your husband to the nearest ER as soon
as you can. He needs to see a doctor right away. Now,
Not tomorrow. Call an ambulance if you do not drive. Please
do it now.

Go to a different doctor. They have several pills that he can take if those are not working they need to give him something else. Also, have him drink a lot of water, I know it may sound wierd but, water helps you lose water that is why they gave him H2O pills. Other than that, dont let him drink diet pops as they retain water.

Go to Urgent Care ASAP. Severe and sudden edema are classic symptoms of acute heart failure.

Keep on top of your doctor.Find out what tests are being done and why. Always get the results and neccessary feed back and recommend get his renal system(liver,kidneys) looked at and tested. Maby he needs to be on a diurretic.
