Brief Answer:
Need to rule out hypothyroidism, kidney dysfunction, and diabetes

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic,

Burning sensation, fatigue along with facial swelling raises the concern for Hypothyroidism(decreased thyroid hormone levels), Kidney dysfunction or diabetes (which can cause damage to your kidneys and nerves).

Physical examination, complete blood count, thyroid function test, renal function test, complete metabolic profile(includes blood sugar level) are needed at this point.

Please be advised to follow up with your primary care provider for further evaluation and management.

Hope this answers your question.
