What Causes Swelling In The Cheeks While On Oxygen Tank?
If you are on oxygen, through the nose, can that make your face swell up - the cheeks swell? My father just started on an oxygen tank and laid down for nap - he woke up and his cheeks are puffy? Could it be a result of Oxygen. He recently started it 1-2 days ago.
Hello Dear. Oxygen doesnot cause face to swell up. Is he having heart disease or kidney disease or liver disease? These can be the possible causes, which needs work up. In people with these underlying disease long time lying on bed can cause swelling of face and legs.
