Hello Mr. Jay,
Good morning. Swelling in the body can result from accumulation of fluid in the body, also called a edema.
Edema can result from numerous causes, kidney malfunction, drugs like the one used to treat high blood pressure, endocrine diseases like hypothyroidism, liver diseases like liver cirrhosis. You should be seeing a MD medicine doctor who should guide you to a proper tests done and follow it up.
Take care
