swelling in hands and eyes

Is it possible that swelling that began in my late 20's and has lasted now that Iam going to turn 41 would have any coralation with heart disease? I am very concerned ,my left arm was badly burned at age 2 ,last week I saw a plastic surgeon and next week Iam goin to have both hands tested by aneuroligit.But the problem in my right han,the swelling and numbness has me deeply concerned.The plastic surgeon thinks it is arthritis,I failed to mention the swelling in my eyes.My question is what kind of doctor should I see?And I wolud welcome any theories to what my problem is

Swelling confined to your hands and eyes is very unlikely due to heart disease. There are kidney disorders in which you can gain fluid that can make you swell up, but it is not too likely that this has been going on for several years (without progressing to something worse). Probably you should see an internist as a first step.

Would swelling in the right eye and poor vision in it indicate a possible heart problem?

Swelling and poor vision in your right eye does not make me think of a heart problem. I would suggest seeing an opthalmologist.
