@collins1979- Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I welcome you and hope that I can lead you to some sort of resolution to this. I recently had very bad edema from a medication that I was recently on. My feet looked like duck paddles. After getting off the and drinking a lot of water I finally peed it out. I actually lost 4 lbs!

I'm sure that you know that Covid wreaks havoc on your lungs. It is caused by abnormal fluid metabolism in your lungs. It's called Pulmonary Edema. and is a part of covid pneumonia.

I think that it would be advisable to get tested to the amount of fluid that has built up with a CT scan or whatever else your doctor deems necessary. And I wouldn't wait. Edema can be quite serious. It can indicate a problem with your heart and or your lungs.

There are many trials going on to test covid treatments. It could be one of the drugs that you were given too.

If you haven't contacted your doctor as yet I would ASAP.
