We are talking about pounds of fluid randomly interrupting my life. I feel prone to it since I did have eclampsia years ago as well. Just small elevation changes make it really bad, flying and probably sodium plus other things that I'm not sure of. I do drink lots of water and I just don't know what else to do to prevent it.

These episodes are not daily and only last ten-twenty mins before I re-gain normal state. I have three children and need to know how serious this could be.

The key is balance in your life. Family, friends, health and work. When I have a tough case, I talk about it, decompress and move on. You do get used to the environment and seeing patients with unfortunate problems. Thanks for your question! It’s very stressful, but most medical specialties have stress.
