Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
The patient is a 30 year old female. She has a persistent swelling in both arms and legs since past six months. The reason for this problem is not yet known. It is also not known which line of doctor needs to be consulted in this regard. Earlier, she complains about trembling in hands, fainting for 15 to 60 minutes, which is not repeating now. She also suffered low blood pressure occasionally. I would like to know the right treatment for the problem. Her CBC, LFT, KFT and blood sugar tests are normal.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Swelling all over the bodycould be due to many causes like liver diseases, heart diseases, kidney diseases, thyroid disease, low albumin level, anemia, drug reaction, etc. As you have mentioned that she had trembling hands previously, it could be due to a thyroid problem.I suggest you check her thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free T3 and free T4 levels and serum albumin level. Also, check her ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and ANA (antinuclear antibodies) to rule out autoimmune and connective tissue disorders. You can consult an internal physician for proper evaluation.
