I weigh well over 300 pounds and my aunt told me I should take a water pill. I want to know what the side effects are.

Hydrochlrothiazide, a prescription diuretic, or "the water pill" is used specifically to treat congestive heart failure. At your weight, you just might need to talk with your doctor about your personal risk of heart failure.

just pee a lot and it relieves swelling and bloating if you are retaining water but if you take them on a daily basis you need to eat a banana a day or take a potassium pill too.

You should see a doctor first before treating yourself. He/she can best help you now.
