Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern and following is/are recommended guidelines:

1. Since the problem is chronic thus could be an autoimmune disease [AI] and one should exclude SLE [systemic lupus erythematous], Celiac disease [gluten allergy] and Hypothyroidism since these conditions can cause weight gain/weight loss and loss of hairs, so check with ANA [anti nuclear antibody] & TFT [thyroid function tests]

2. Other common conditions to look out for is/are:
. Obesity [check with your body mass index]
. Allergic reaction, sinusitis [inflammation around nose], Cushing syndrome [check with an endocrinologist], use of drugs [steroids for long period]

3. You might need evaluation by doctor from field of Rheumatologist/Neurologist/Gastroenterologist/Endocrinologist

4. till more physical examination and investigation is done:

. elevate the head end of the bed to reduce facial swelling.
. seek prompt medical attention and if want to try alternative medicine then discuss with your doctor who can tell you about the possible risks/benefits of the same.
