Hi, Edema in the body is usually seen in cases of either cardiac conditions or kidney disease or liver disease. Facial edema is usually seen in kidney disease. So I would suggest you get all fresh blood investigations like KFT, LFT and CBC. Also, regularly measure blood pressure which is high can affect the kidney. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
