Hi,
Based on your description, I would like to advise the following.
1. Blood test for Total Protein, Albumin and Albumin/Globulin ratio.
2. Urine routine examination for albumin.
Kindly consult Physician with the report. You would also need to get your blood pressure checked as well as undergo echo-cardiogram done.
The physician would certainly be able to evaluate clinically and advise accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
