hi..
you have generalized edema, anasarca, which is progressong fast..
you could be having any one of these conditions like cardiovascular diseases, renal disease or liver disease, hypoproteinemia..
see your physician immediately for the workup and come to the conclusion..
you may need hospitalization for the management..
liver function test, renal function test, electrolyte levels, ECG, Echocardiogram needs to be done to come to the diagnosis..
