See Dr: That is too short a period to consider normal without a history and exam, and possibly blood or heart (/ultrasound) testing. See your dr.

Swelling: Swelling can be caused by so many things that there is not enough room here to write. I take it no injury. High blood pressure can cause it, alcohol, excessive use, overweight , gravity could all cause it plus much more. Rest, elevation, ice and compression will all help.
