Q: I've been on cholesterol lowering meds for over 20 years now and recently switched to Crestor.

I worry that I'm retaining water because I drink at least 10 large glasses or bottles of water per day but only go to the bathroom 3-4 times in a 24 hour period.  I'm also constipated most of the time.  Some people have told me to drink even more water but I already feel like I'm sloshing around as it is.  Does this have anything to do with the cholesterol medication that I'm taking or could it be something else.
