What Causes Swelling In The Face, Arms And Legs?

I am a 34 year old female who has been dealing with swelling in my face, both arms, and both legs and feet for the last 6 weeks on top of constant fatigue to the point of not being able to keep up with the high energy of my 7 year old daughter on a daily basis. I do have a family history of cancer on my mom s side. What does this mean?
