Hello,
Your symptoms can be related to many medical conditions.
I would recommend checking kidney function through creatinine and azotemia blood level.
I also recommend checking for cardiac problems.
Meanwhile, you can use prescribed diuretics to relieve the edema.
You should consult your doctor about this treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
