Hi welcome to the health care magic

Don't ignore this symptoms...

It seems to be early pulmonary embolism secondary to deep vein thrombosis of leg

Work up needed with...
-colour doppler
-D dimer
-CT angiography if needed
-2D ecgocardiography

If embolism present low molecular weight heparin needed

If above work up normal than elective investigation regarding liver disorder, hypoproteinemia, kidney disease and heart failure can be done

Hope you will be benefited by my answer

Consult pulmonologoist or cardiologist for examination

Take care
