Does blood pressure and arthrities cause swelling ?
My mother is a patient of B.P.& Orthorities Problem, nearly 1 weeck way back in her face get swell after awaking if not go to sleep the face is usually normal.
thanks for choosing health care magic.Usually this happened because of some water and salt retention in body.Get her blood pressure and urine checked.Some pain medicines which she might be taking can also give rise to this.look for swelling on her feet and whether she is having any difficulty in breathing on exertion.then see your doctor.
