Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Feet And Ankle

I am 39 years old 5 foot tall and weigh 265 lbs. I have gained over 50 lbs since August 2014. I am tired all of the time. I recently have swelling in my feet and ankles. I wake up several times a night. I fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I have shortness of breath. I am wondering what may be wrong with me.
