Since this swelling appeared around the same time as the breathing problems - I’m hoping there could be a connection - perhaps swelling in the smaller bronchi of the lung (I have exhale wheeze but it sounds like throat area to me when I breath through mouth so maybe edema in the mucosa in the pharynx of larynx). Nothing seen on laryngoscope but I have my doubt that they wouldn’t just skip by it if it wasn’t right on the vocal cords) But maybe if I can fix this swelling it’ll fix my breathing too.
So this occurred on a few months of Fludrocortisone where I progressively got worse. I had episodes of paralysis , muscle fasciculations and weakness and this edema in thé mouth. Tingling and burning in legs too. I’m wondering if I’m dealing with a potassium and magnesium loss that ceasing the medication didn’t fix. Potassium déficency causes extracellular fluid build up but I’m not sure about in the mouth. I’m also considering that the Fludrocortisone caused msg déficency. I had a pic taken of a tumour and the airways seemed constricted once it got to the smooth muscle bronchi.
Does this sound like I gave myself a severe déficency? I have EDS and absorption issues.
