This is very serious, and there are a number of bad things that could explain these symptoms. Please get to an Emergency Room ASAP, for tests to figure out the cause, and to get treatment to feel better quickly.

You need to have some blood tests done.  Some of the most common causes of swelling involve heart, liver, or kidney problems.  You also have to look at the medications you take.  Ibuprofen can affect your kidneys and Tylenol can affect your liver.  If you are taking Ibuprofen and Tylenol for pain, you may have taken too much.  You need to see your doctor or go to the emergency room.  You may need to be hospitalized.
