Suggest Treatment For Swollen Face, Lips, Eyes & Cheeks

I keep waking up with a really swollen face, lips, eyes, nose, cheeks - everything! My face has also become very dry and so is often numb or has a tingling sensation. For the past few nights when I am trying to go to sleep, I also am finding it hard to breathe and have been suddenly waking up gasping for air. What could be the problem?

Hi

Thanks for posting your query .

There are few causes for swelling of face . Most common among them is kidney problems , loss of proteins in urine , thyroid disease , adrenal disease , heart problems .
Associated with Breathing difficulty it might be due to kidney or heart problem .

I advise you to get these tests done and revert back :

Complete Hemogram , Serum Creatinine , Urine routine , Ultrasound Abdomen pelvis , 2D echo .

You can start taking TAb Lasix after consulting your doctor .

Will be looking forward for your follow up .
Regards .
