Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Your history of edema and dizziness could be due to cardiac problem, reduced protein content, Renal problem or anemia. You need to get examined thoroughly for diagnosis of your condition. You need to get following investigations: ECG, ECHO cardiogram for cardiac problem RFT, Serum protein level, CBC. You need not have to scared for it, your doctor may help you to required test done depending on examination findings.
Hope this helps you
