What Causes Heaviness In The Chest,swollen Ankle And Constipation?

I have a heavy chest, I think upper intestinal fullness, like constipation but have gone 3 times today after taking a stool softener. Both my ankles and feet are extremely swollen, took a water pill, drinking a lot of water but not urinating that much. Had blood pressure taken each day, last 3 days, top number 121 or lower, bottom number from40 to highest 64. Do have severe osteoporosis and 5 compression fractures in T9, T10, T12, L1, and L2, with surgery to have cement put in on Tuesday 5/3. Have been in severe pain last 5 weeks. Why are my ft swelling so much and why do I feel so bad.

Hello,

If you are not urinating properly or facing urinary retention then kindly consult with a physician to evaluate for underlying disease which is causing urinary retention and lower limb swelling.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
