My brother has a pace maker he has had it for about a yr.,and a half.Yesterday was the first time i seen him in about 6 mo.,and i noticed his face was swollen alot he did gain weight i couldn't tell if his body was swollen.Wonder what would cause his face to swell?
I know the feeling on not having answers----I went for about 2 years with out knowing anything----all kids of medication was given to me---sent here sent there----it wears on your nerves emotions family everything------it has been four years since I have been diagnosed with severe scar tissue and since then I have had 6 out of 30 major surgeries for just this reason----I am here anytime you have questions----I know what not knowing is like----good luck!!!!!
Hi my name is Traci. I have the body swelling also, and no one can pin pint it. I swell in my belly then legs and soon everything swells. At times I fell as if my kidneys do not function, but some days it is good. I have blood pressure problems, and was just today put on a second (BP) pill in the afternoons. I get to where I cannot breath also when I am so swelled with fluids that I cant harldy function.
My heart is fine, my thyroid is fine, but enlarged, and I wish I had an answer to this as well..........I will keep you informed as I get answers and please do the same if you receive any....
My email address is: ***@****
Thanks,
Traci-
I am reading alot on this forum about things like what I have been through and still going through----I swell organs shut down--etc and I am only 33 years old---- I have had around thirty surgeries and not until the last four did they realize that I had severe Scare tissue that when looked at it looked as though someone poured white concrete into my belly----it attached to the organs and began shutting them down---which meant they went in and had to seperate all of them......has you mother had surgeries in the past that could cause some scare tissue----it will not show up on x-rays etc-----the only way they found out what it was was to do exploratory surgery on me-----keep me posted
