hello there!
that fast swelling with start from face and involving whole body sounds like Edema/ anasarca and blood proteins and albumin profiles is necessary to sort out the etiology, could be kidneys could be liver could be any thing, but not normal. so need work up and seek help. A gp would be a good start.
