There didn't seem to be any need this time, so no point carrying on. But yesterday and today I have noticed a slight puffiness in the left ankle and foot, and also a little tightness in the left trouser leg at calf level. So I've taken a 40mg Furosemide today and will continue until that goes away (fluid retention is a standard Dex side-effect.)
