Hello, I have studied your case and these symptoms are showing that your blood pressure in not under control. I would suggest you to get following blood tests. 1.Lipid profile and cholesterol 2.Blood sugar 3.Blood urea and creatinine 4.Blood pressure Any of the above mentioned test if abnormal then it can cause swelling which leads to such symptoms.
