hi,
This post is for free suggestions and help, please don't mind.
Generally, edema do not make any one sluggish, in fact the cause of edema may be the one causing sluggishness. At your age, you need a good check up.
The possibilities range from anemia, cardiac disease, thyroid disease and kidney problems. Kindly make sure that these are ruled out.
ALL THE BEST.
