Pain In Left Thumb And Wrist, Swelling, Weight Gain, Nausea, Low BP. What Does This Suggest?

am I in trouble? I have pain in my left thumb n pointer finger and my wrist as well. I have swelling in my hands and feet, my hands especially. I have noticed a 12lb weight gain in a few days. No pain but I have had nausea but no vomiting. The nurses took my bp and said it was a little high but then switched arms and retook it and used the lower pressure.
