So, its been a week since my last doctor's visit. He changed my blood pressure medication, because one would keep me up throughout the night, as I had to constantly go to the bathroom.  And I've noticed, since then, I've gained around 20 pounds, and felt bloated.and I'm having these headaches. The weight gain was so sudden, and I couldn't explain it to people, but I noticed it right away. I thought that I was losing my mind,  and come  to find out, that I have gained weight due to water retention. And the headaches, are orthosatic in nature. They come when change position, from sitting to standing, when bending over, and from behind the eyes.  Sometimes, it feels ,as if, someone stabbed me in my eye. I, also, have been getting really tired lately. And feeling really run down. My endocrinologist says that, since I been on the medication, symptoms should have stop. But, I don't know what is what. I don't know what symptoms are the acromegaly, and what's the medication, or what's is just everyday. I don't think I have it as bad as most people I've ready with acromegaly, so I can't complain to much, but, I know there's something going on .
