Occasional swelling of the right side of the body. Is it a symptoms of any mental health case?
Patient: I m a 30 yr old female. Occasionally my legs, feet , hands, and sometimes my face will swell for no apparent reason. It s typically limited to the right side of my body. After I begin to swell I start saying and doing things that make no sense and serve no purpose. I never have any recollection of these events, but as my husband begins to reiterate them to me I can recall small bits (almost like viewing photographs of myself). With each episode it gets more extreme. Last time, my husband came into our hotel room and found me standing in the window, arms outstretched, telling him that Trent Reznor(from the band Nine Inch Nails ) had just been in the window talking to me. I realize that this mainly sounds like a mental health case, but I assure you that its something else wrong with me. I m not sure if my liver could be to blame, but for some reason I feel that thats the base of the problems. I m a mother of 3 and I m beginning to fear the next time this happens. Im scared Doctor: Hai    From the information given i could not conclude anything but i suspect some mental health problem.problem with liver will not cause such problems.further information about whether others also can notice your body swelling,your marital relationship,any stress in the recent past are also needed.   Better to consult a psychiatrist as early as possible.    Bye
