Nawang sick with edema, very sick
The sickness of Edma is a acumolation of liquid under the skin of ones body. One of the many reasons that he could have reviced this diease is beacuse you can get it from an increase in pressure. From climbing the moutian as he gained alttutide, the pressure on his body became more extreme. When a person is digunosed with Edema you may begin to notice weight gain, puffy eye lids and sweeling of the legs. Edema cannot be cured.
