Anyone know any ways to get rid of excess water weight?

The good news is that I am able to completely stop taking one of my blood pressure medicines - the one with a mild diuretic. The bad news is that I have retained about 6 lbs of excess fluid over the past week. (B/P is still fine 110/72). I have a little edema in my lower legs and my hands are puffy. I even got a little short of breath walking up a steep hill on my walk yesterday - never had that before. Anyone else have this happen? Will the fluid take care of itself? Any ideas on "natural" diuretics - food sources (not into herbal stuff at all)? Thanks -
