hi
thanks for posting in HCM
I have understood your concern

probabilities of your swelling are
1.protein loss through kidneys
2.reduced cardiac function
3.liver abnormality
4.varicose veins
5.hypothyroidism

I can suggest you to get done
1.LFT
2. serum creatinine
3.ECG and ECHO
4.TSH

I can suggest you to take high protein diet along with reduced salt and water intake.

kindly get back to me with reports and we ll decide about further treatment.

thanks
