Hello,
Consult a physician and get evaluated. A detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.
We have to rule out possible causes like hypoalbuminemia and thyroid dysfunction. An echo test is also required to assess cardiac status.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
