Brief Answer: No,it won't be due to detox effect. Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX , Welcome to HCG, I have gone through your query, As you are 63yrs old and not on any medications, 1. The symptoms you said facial Puffiness, swelling around eyelid (PERIORBITAL SWELLING) are quite common with impaired renal (kidney) functions which are quite common around your age group. 2. Dizziness and increased respiratory rate is quite common in metabolic acidosis (functional abnormality of kidney) which comes in impaired renal function. 3. I would like you to do a simple renal parameters like serum creatinine, serum urea, GFR (glomerular function test). 4. Follow up as per results. Take care.
