It can cause edema, whether it be peripherally, pulmonary, or cerebral. Peripheral edema when controlled may be completely harmless. Pulmonary edema can affect gas exchange, literally causing a person to drown in their own lungs. Cerebral edema is swelling in the brain, which can lead to permanent brain damage. Good news? Usually you can take a diuretic (water pill) and get rid of most excess water in the body in very little time.
