I took 4 organic wormwood (artemisia Absinthium) capsules at the same time for 5 days. 400mg each. Quit yesterday.
When waking up I noticed mild edema bumps on my feet.
I also notice now my belly is slightly bloated or swollen. I've went to the ER yesterday and doctor checked for all vital signs with stethoscope and feeling but everything was okay. Also she did not notice abdominal swelling. She did not get me blood tests. She said that the swelling wasn't that relevant and that normally kidney failure causes big swelling like you're feet or hands would be like cushions.
I have taken mastic gum capsules 4 years ago for 2 days. During the night, I had terrible itching all over my body that was felt till the bone. Doctor sent me away and didn't want me to get blood test because just before I had it tested too for unrelated issue. 1 person online reported saying her kidneys and stomach were permanently damaged due to taking mastic gum capsules. I would later read that mastic gum contains resins, which are very harmful to the kidneys.
So I'm afraid my kidneys have been damaged and compromised ever since and that this could have to do what has happened yesterday and the days while I was using wormwood.
Also, as I've written in a different topic (but said it was for a friend for anonymity, that's the only topic I did that for) I used antipsychotic drugs in the past. I was prescribed them for an emotional breakdown mimicking a psychotic episode. I had quit them cold turkey and ever since I've had pain just below to heart on the chest occasionally, and also tachycardias. There are dopamine receptors among more in the heart so that has me worried too my heart is compromised.
So I'm afraid it could be some type of heart failure or heart problem too.
While taking the Wormwood I felt a sensation as if my heart stopped beating for 2 seconds in bed and feeling very faint in those 2 seconds. Later I also felt an electrical jolt to the right in my left chest.
I suffered chest pain yesterday. But the pain worsened when pressing the chest the doctor noticed so she didn't think anything of it and I think it could've been a flare up of my costochondritis (inflammation of chest) which I had in the past.
Here's a study of 2 seperate cases of rhabdomyolysis induced kidney failure due to wormwood usage:

Pictures of edema in feet:
The edema bumps are greenish upon closer examination. The edema bump is worse in the right feet.
I also think there could be edema in my calves as where the muscle is supposed to be it feels really loose and watery. I always thought that was fat and since it's not shaped odd I didn't notice so I thought it might be worth mentioning. I live a very sedentary lifestyle and don't often exercise or even move enough.
I'm a 24 years old male.
What could all of this be. Should I be worried? Could this be signs of either kidneys problems or heart problems or both?
This whole suspicion of hidden edema elsewhere in my body like my belly and calves just makes me feel afraid too.
I hope someone can give me some comfort and advice on this.
Thanks!
