Brief Answer:
Yes you should see a doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I understand your concern.It could be signs of sodium and water retention which could again be due to some kidney dysfunction,steroid use,sinus infection etc.
It is very important to go for a thorough evaluation which might include a blood work up,serum urea,creatinine and if required other high resolution tests.
So do not ignore this and reach a doctor for further help.
Hope this helps.Feel free to ask more.
